I just had another thought... this is a WORLD WIDE forum, so for some people here, english may not necessarily be the first language (for me its the third, but i am considered fluent in all).. and i wonder if in some countries literature is translated differently than in the us/uk available literature?
But yeahgr8.. (lol i almost typed jack as dee referred to you as jack the lad).. i can sort of see where everyone is coming from.. the frustration of being told that something that worked for you is not working for someone else, so they come along and promote something different, then invariably yet another person comes along and says "well none of those actually work you need THIS method" and so on and on we go until all of us are blue in the face and exasperated.
I still maintain that there are valuable tools and support and help to be found EVERYWHERE, even in the least likely place we may pick up something that will help.
