I think it really means "Did you take Nick's advice?" :)
The main part of Nick's advice was maybe not perfectly clear for a
beginner; when he says "with no customizations", he means "rename your
.emacs file to some other name so you don't lose it, and then re-start
from a new, blank .emacs file - and don't put in your new .emacs file
anything that you don't fully understand."
I've caused problems for myself before, by finding something interesting
that sounds like a good idea, adding it into my .emacs without fully
understanding what it does, and later running into mysterious problems.
