the key word is most of the people at LFS don't know what they're talking about. There are some very helpful people as long as you have some idea about what you are looking for. Lots of them don't make commission so it is not necessarily beneficial for them to sell you useless stuff. Some are bad. though. Internet is good for lots of info but can sometimes be confusing when starting out. definitely read lots and try to pick out what would be most reasonable for what you want to keep.

This comment offends me.
