Congratulations... do you want a cookie? Your advice for him was to measure the action and file the frets................. which you read in a book somewhere. The basis of my suggestions was that anybody who has to get on a forum and ask a tech question: 1. probably doesn't know enough to go about fret filing, 2. doesn't feel comfortable taking care of it themselves, and 3. wants to save money if at all possible... If you're telling a guy that fits into these criteria to go out and buy fret files, fret crown files, extra fret wire (incase he messes up)....and also encouraging him to do something that should be left to a professional. Then you're defeating the whole purpose of him asking the question... Acoustics are sensitve instruments. This stuff may work for you and your self proclaimed "low action" set-ups... but I wouldn't suggest it to a newbie, or even someone who knows a little about luthiery. The last thing I want to see is someone taking bad advice and ruining their guitar...
