I'm still there, I've only been doing this for a few years, made and continue to make more then my fair share of mistakes.

Live and learn.
As for uncleben he's an expert, if the results aren't top notch he's not interested. Glad you finished them out though you learn a lot more that way. He's got a lot of great principles to follow even though I don't follow his synthetic feeding principles.
