There's a bloody good reason for that - if they make it clear you just know some fool like [readacted] is going to post it with big red arrows and the trick will die like it did with AFWD. Once bitten, twice shy.

It's possible to figure out some of the tricks if you use your head and Google. I was able to do it for a while when I looked at that thread a year or so ago. I stopped bothering because I had no desire to fly Y and lacked the time to engage in elaborate positioning. Once you've figured some out, posters are usually helpful if you PM. But, and this is a big but, you have to put in the legwork first, which most people are unwilling to do.
