I think any of you should try out anything you have an interest in. How else to learn? Obviously the read and regurge method is wrong.

All this 'do that, don't do that' crap is just a load of someone else's bad time, or just plain fear and ignorance, being heaped upon those who know no better.

If something works, great. If it doesn't, don't do that again. How simple can it get?
