Yes, it's fine, so long as you take it easy. Just accelerate up to speed the same rate as the rest of the traffic, and keep the revs below 6-7k. It's not a question of speed.

Same here. Ha!

Also, the first thing I learnt after being on this forum is that YC knows everything and, therefore, is god. Thou shalt not question....but apparently flaming is OK.

I don't! And I'm not! I have been and am often wrong, question and consider everything until it makes sense.
