Yeah, you should probably hit those books again.
I said that I thought of tossing them in the garbage when I read the thread title "How to grow autos properly". So, before clicking on the thread and viewing it's content, I had thought of "the proper way" as throwing them in the trash. As it turns out, that was the original post, which is why I said "funny enough".
There is a saying in the trades "Measure twice, cut once", I highly suggest that you "Read twice, ...".
Yes, yes you are.
There is a place for autos, where necessary, but they are not anywhere near photos. They just aren't.
What is it with everyone (some) lately? Must be something in the water.
