It seems like when Agar posts something that it must be the ONLY way to do it. I don't disagree with Agar's method, but mine works just as well and it only takes about 2 hours instead of 24. My results are in the fruiting pics in my gallery.
If you can prove to me that I will get better results by soaking for 24-48 hours rather than just steeping for an hour, please enlighten me.

Foo, you are correct.
See when I started out all I did is read agar's threads and posts. I switched to Blue Helix's afterwards.
I gathered a bit here and there from other sources, but that was mainly it.
I'm kind of pre-conditioned to using agar as an answer to questions, just because that is what I did. However, I agree with you.
Agar's ways are not always the best. They always work for me, but many can be improved upon. Your tek does seem to be an improvement. I'm sticking to my set up (agar's but modified), but that doesn't mean yours is no better.
I should be helping people out with the most efficient ways, not just agar's, this is very true.
I will work on bettering my knowledge of where to find the most efficient explaination. And perhaps that will start with your wbs soak and simmer.

Whoa dude. You must have the best attitude I've ever seen here! 
Anywho, I definitely have learned a ton from Agar and he has personally given me advice on more than one occasion. He also has a ton of posts under the name SixTango (I think) that you may find very informative. I'm not saying my way is better or worse, just different and worth giving a shot. Agar knows his shit and I would take his advice on things. I just don't feel the need to wait 1-2 days for my grains to soak 
+5 for having a great attitude! It will serve you well in life

I work hard on my attitude, it used to suck real bad. I've had a hard life, very hard (my own fault). Gotta make the best of what is left.
I look into a few others as well. Yes, SixTango, RoadRunner, Hyphea, Hippie Chick, and several others.
In the end all I look for here is to learn what I can and help others.
The last step in the program is to share your knowledge or you will lose it, so that is what I try to do.
There should be no bias on good information. And the best information should be available up front to save people frustration.
Thank you for your compliment, it is taken to heart.

I'm going to start calling you Dr Phil 
I wish I could keep a cool head like that. My wife says I need anger management.

I did take anger management.
I underwent complete congnitive, behavioral, and thought pattern restructuring.
In essence I had myself brain-washed.
24/7 intensive program that I was imprisoned in for 39 months.
Not prison, although I've been there too. This was it's own sort of deal. Rumored to be the most intensive rehab in the world.
It's not easy bro. And no, Dr. Phil is no good for me.
