There's no need to apologise, sometimes it is better to get a different view on things. If my view of things was always right, I wouldn't be here.
It isn't so much as whose view is right or wrong as it is who is giving it (if that makes any sense). Mine comes from the POV of a WAW. That is why what I say hurts to hear and sounds discouraging. Others may be from a LBS who can sympathize with what you are going through, and you may need that. Some will talk to you from their own personal experience......and you need to really listen to what worked for them and what didn't.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
