Done. Thx :)

As someone seriously considering giving this a go (our consulting business is about to complete it's first year, we have built up a good war chest in the bank without any investment, and we're planning our web app right now), I would be foolish not to listen to the advice and experience (with a grain of salt) of those who have come before me and succeeded.

I don't think it was short-sighted. I think his point, while partly intended to be funny, of course, was that spending 12 hours to inject a certain amount of information is inefficient if the same substance could have been gleaned much more quickly in the form of concise, curated chunks of text.
