Respectfully, I think your summation of this account was indeed incorrect. The thread he referenced was specifically for which yeast to use with the recipe he provided and that was simply it. In addition, the comment "
and now that you have found your winning combination you refuse to share it?" is also incorrect and made an assumption simply because the aforementioned reference to his recipe was already a winner. Your comment implied that
@Dgallo recipe he shared didn't win anything and that he does not share winning combinations. So that is incorrect. He posted it in a different thread started by another person to help them with their NZ Pilsner recipe. That recipe, with exception of the final hop timings, was the same recipe that he referenced.
We are OT obviously here so lets keep sharing the picture of our pints! Cheers!
