Go ahead...... I'm done.

As was stated earlier and throughout the thread- OF COURSE it is OK. The key issue, which probably should have been made more clear earlier is If advice is accurate and helpful, it does not matter where it came from- whether it was from a book, another keeper, or years of experience. By the same token, even the most experienced keeper can give bad advice sometimes.
