Maybe it has to do with the opinions expressed here. This forum seems to be "run" by a few talking heads. Perhaps people enter this forum to read and laugh. I find that often times the people posting information are low in experience or low on talent.
You have to pick and choose what advice you follow. Listen to the guys from Mass D, C Irwin, the guys from GT, and people like that. A lot of times you have to wade through pages of crap to get to the answers that are reasonable and experience based.
