This was a vent thread about crappy advice. No obs bashing at all, in fact everyone has pointed that fact out.

Crappy advice has been given, it's ok to vent about that isn't it? I'm not sure what is 'brave' about offering a counter to a point that doesn't exist, in a venting thread. It's about as brave as going into the c/s support thread and banging on about the dangers of the theatre.
