I think that it's important to gather as much information as possible, and then figure out how to use that knowledge in a way that works best for your snakes and you. I think that there are some people who read one thread, or even one post, and take that information and run with it.

Also, it is important to remember that a lot of posts are what works for that individual, and it may not work out for you. I've found that a lot of reading, and some trial and error have been my best tools.
