I know what you mean but that don't mean everybody is like that.  You
read reviews of products and some say they don't work and some say
they work perfect.  Most times its because the people who are whining
shouldn't attempt or lack any understanding of what they're doing and
the fault is on them.

I don't expect it to be a breeze but as with anything new there will
be trial and error but I am certain I'll have favorable end results.
