This is somewhat selective quoting isn't it though, lets get quote 2 in context shall we

"I naively created a new db and thought I could copy the user stuff into it. This is a development db so if a few things got lost it was no big deal. Somebody should have said (and in so many words they did) "Hey nimrod, that's a bassackwards way to recover your data. Keep poking around in your backups - the control files are there, they're just shy about announcing themselves." Well, that's true."

It is also dated 5 days after your original advice, and 4 days after Joe thanked Howard for his helpful advice the first time :(
