It all just comes down to the timing of the action. For Mike and NSW...it is too soon. Just because I learned how to change the oil today doesn't mean that tomorrow I am ready to change the engine. The people who do promote this route just need to promote it with a little bit more criteria (see Puppys post to NSW today) and not just blurt it out too all newbies that "manning up" is the way to go. That is my problem with it overall....kinda like giving a child a gun with out telling them how to handle it.
Sorry about off shooting your page MIke....Your post have just been the meeting place for different approaches...both proven to work, yet both different.
