I think we have to perhaps take that statement and analyse it a bit more as I read it in a different way to others and see both sides of the conversation. I can't speak for others so this is my own opinion. If given the choice I am sure we would all love to go to our local pharmacist, get N for the cost of the loose change you have in your pocket and leave by a peaceful method. But we can't. So again this is my own opinion reading Peacful_Sam's entry and my thought journey since I joined the site. First read about N. Wow! exactly what I want.....oh dear, seems I have more chance of catching a unicorn fart in a bucket made from Higgs Boson particles. So then I explored other methods that suited the manner in which I would feel comfortable in doing, which led me to SN. So I have become parental to that method (perhaps even a tad obsessed) in making the plan for its execution. There are a bunch of conversations going on in parallel about that method and it seems that they are cross referencing each other and perhaps at times a bit of chinese whispers creeps in and the story or facts get diluted or change a bit. I can understand that, any discussion about a preferred method is charged with eagerness because of the attachment those kindred spirits feel for it. So putting words into Sam's mouth, I can see a few times where I have looked at a few statements about SN and thought 'back to square one' before correcting myself and sticking to the plan.
Here is what i plan to do in my event: Going to make a list of my prep, what I did in the form of a list of instructions and post it and hope I keep the resolve at the time I feel now to go through with it. If I don't return to the forum then perhaps someone can cut and paste it into a pinned resources message to help others. If it fails, then I would come back on and post why, and be truly honest as I can to why it failed, including if I lost my nerve and sought intervention. I think I can be brutally honest as nobody here knows me so I have no shame in that respect. But to leave a resource of information that could be used as a valid source of data for others would be good. There are already some details of observed SN exits from PPeh, but are rarely mentioned in SN discussions. And I know there are a few ways I can fail, the SN purchased maybe a bag of flour with a bit of salt thrown in, I may get the dosage wrong, my delayed emails to the relevant people may go wrong and be sent immediately alerting people to what I am up to. There are many reasons why I believe i can be in the 95% of failed attempts. But with the help of this forum I truly hope I get into that important 5%.
Its a fantastic forum and I think I learnt more in a night's reading it that I have messing around on other sites picking up bits and pieces. But the common theme that I see from everyone is the surety and correct way to execute a method to make sure the % is more in our favour. So i am not defending or promoting either points of view shown here. But what I know about myself, if someone gave me a manual on how to do my method properly, it will be the first time I would have fully read one, and this comes from a man who built a lot of flat pack furniture incorrectly!
And I would also say at times we need to agree to disagree. This is in essence a support forum. We should be helping each other in whatever way we can.
