True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

One concrete data point for the thread. One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it. Reconstructing a timeline from memory three months later is how people end up unable to answer the one question that would have resolved it.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Moderator note: a post naming a supplier has been edited. Discuss suppliers in the review sections, not here. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
