Make up your mind!  How's that different from what I said?

You asked for an alleged solution that simply works, obviously you need
one different than what you've tried before, and nobody can do that
without knowing what you've tried or giving you the same things to try.

Yes, I don't like that approach either - in the other part of what you
discussed, recipes versus details of what's involved are two different
methodologies, and I'd prefer good instructional information than just a
list of steps that work for someone, and may not for another.  But you
*did* discuss both ways (another suggestion, as well as good
descriptions of the processes).
