It's great to get extra-sensory perception from 'experts' but don't let them, for one minute, infer they are THE Guru, because all Gurus, like martial arts masters, are still learning themselves and it is often from the student.

Never the less, any, accurate, advice is good and if only 1 thing sinks home out of all the guff and waffle, it might be the thing that saves the day...one day..

The main thing is to share experiences and enjoy and then everyone wins !
