Thanks for the link.

Go for it...

I agree with what you said.
I remebered the mentioned case because I just had to smile
while reading the thread.
It was a situation where a newbie asks a question which
ends up in two pros walking away having a nice discussion
and the newbie stands with his two half-spheres in his
hands and a big questionmark above his head how to shape
them more like Go pieces.
After all he got no concrete help (I can't blame, I didn't
help by myself).
This is the impression that left about the mentioned thread.
