Mike, I think it's important to remember that FAQ stands for
Frequently Asked Questions. Not Fabulous Answers Quoted. I shouldn't
speak for Darrell but I suspect that they, the answers, have been
selected to give a balanced view. What works in one set of conditions
may not work in another. It's not easy to know the conditions in
someone else's kitchen unless your the clairvoyant one in the NG. I've
found that people want just a simple 'do this' answer rather than an
explanation of the workings, so inevitably you're going to get
conflicting advice. Add to that people's differing needs from their
starter and you've got a very confusing mix.
