I'll take the slap on the wrist re-golf. I once heard it described as a good way to ruin a nice walk - I'm also firmly in the F Golf camp.
Back on topic - I get your point. I wasn't really thinking about setup. I agree there is a lot to be learnt on a hardtail for all types of riders. From what I see locally I think we are at a time now where most novices skip the HT phase and jump straight in with a FS bike - which isn't possibly the best idea in the long term.
