That's interesting to hear because over the years I've finally settled down on my style of fretting and that is to put the frets in very easily. I cut the slots wider then recommended and glue them in usually with fish glue. I do this for guitars I build, if it's a refret I don't go and widen the slots. But once I get a fretboard perfect I don't want hammering frets in to alter it so I like the 'loose' fret method.
As for the other development in this thread, I find online forums to be incredibly valuable. A lot of us here started before the Internet and as such have either developed our own methods and or were taught how to do something in specific ways. Then comes the Internet and the access to vast amounts of information and methods that other people use. Sometimes I read a forum post about some clever simple little thing like how to install a heal cap or something and have to knock myself on the head for doing it 'wrong' all these years.
You really can learn something every day.
