Agreed. To clarify, I am, in fact, defending, not attacking.

This forum should be helpful to both experts AND newcomers.

Oh ... I have read something different : rewind......

Dunge, I feel for you, man. You just got shill slapped by the data recovery industry reputation managers who prowl this site to convince newcomers that nothing short of their professional expertise is allowed to be true.
But, frankly, all professions have their shill acts in one way or another. I can't count how many times "professionals" in various protected and unprotected disciplines have told me that something can't be done, you'll destroy it if you touch it, yadi yadi yada, where it turned out that they either had no clue what they were saying or they were just trying to hook me into some expensive & unnecessary service.

Thanks for clarifying anyway.

Yes, I summarized what many "experts" have said on this and other forums. Some of these people have been crass for so long, they can't even see themselves anymore. So, I'm glad to help them by shining up a mirror for them to see. So, if this applies to anyone, step back and unclench your jaws and fists.
