Hi Greg,

The point I am trying to make is how beginners even begin to entertain why breaking away from convention is wise, not that the unconventional should be banned or deleted.

You did say "Anyone, please find an instance of any of the experimenters recommending a beginner start with homebrew fuel, let alone etherless!

The 'instance' happens when an experiment has published conclusions, it will be copied somewhere, sometime - thats the curious nature of human beings and there will be new threads with exact same topic in the future regardless of how much we all prove or disprove something.

Oh and by the way, I have never tried etherless fuel on purpose, by accident yes as the ether has evaporated in the past and that has always been a joyless occassion.
