DarkPlouf, I actually think this is one of the best courses of action currently available for users not hitting design goal. It's what I've done a few times myself over the course of DMSI development. I'm actually doing the same thing now (kinda). I'm using MHS but running DMSI every two weeks to test out a theory proposed by Duke and Travis. According to Shannon, the cycle isn't supposed to end until January or February anyway and since Shannon's estimates are almost always off (by his own admission 
) then a March/April release seems most likely but again, not guaranteed.
In addition, especially after reading Duke Togo's report it's kinda opened my eyes more to DMSI...because I too thought that perhaps there was a specific pattern, that guys who are/were executing and achieved design goal were mostly guys who'd already had some degree of success. This is not the case. Granted, I still do believe that prior experience with women definitely doesn't hurt, but we've had people before like Narcissus and Aventus45 who've lost their virginity by using DMSI whereas others like Sarge here and Catman haven't. So prior experience isn't exactly a prerequisite although like I said, it definitely can't hurt you.
@Dilettante: I admit that early on in DMSI development (like V2.1 and V2.2) I was thoroughly convinced that DMSI would work more so like pheromones do. In the phero community it's often said that pheros only do about 10% of the work, you have to do the other 90%. Overtime, and after my own experiences and after reading/watching other people's experience when DMSI is actually "kicking in" there may only be less than 50% of "work" that you actually need to do if any. In some cases such as this...almost nothing needed to be done although in the situation I linked, design goal wasn't reached but...damn.
