I joined and started posting yesterday, so I'm currently in the "Wow, this is a brand new place that I know NOTHING about - I'm going to need to find some useful guides/articles for beginners" stage...and luckily (or maybe it wasn't just luck ?) I stumbled across this!
This was really helpful - especially considering the fact that some of the approaches you warned against using were slowly finding their way onto my strategy list...so thanks for the advice!
I'd love to hear an update on the wall picture :P
