I would however appreciate in the future if you didn't simply tell me what I should do. If you want to offer your own brand of advice, I won't stop you (unless it goes against the rules), but know that I'm not just going to do what you say because you tell me to.
EDIT: Also, live patch? I'm not sure what you mean by that...
Oh, I don't expect you to take my feedback as raw advice, just listen to it. I look at things from a much different angle. It sometimes can be useful to get my perspective, as often you need to combine both for a complete solution.
BTW, you are taking my advice like a textbook, a test lan can be a couple of old computers, or even a few VMs on your main desktop.
Be interpretive with advice. Stuborness is an inevitable human trait that every person here has including myself and we each also have our own viewpoint. However, if each one of us uses 1% of the logic possible to be gained from reading each other person's viewpoint, we all would become far better at everything.
When I give what you call advice, it may be phrased as such, but it is more a proposed theory, than advice. Maybe it's a little old-school to think that way, but sometime's it helps to compair theoretical notes. Maybe I need to scale back a bit on the frequency of reporting such notes, and we can meet somewhere in the middle.
