I am sure at some point when they are where you are, they will move over to one of those threads for help. When you say to forget heart rate, that might not be the best thing for new exercisers that are overweight and might have health problems that you don't know anything about. I just want to make sure that everyone works out in a safe way for their body. The weight will drop but they have to work out safe for that to actually happen.
I did look at your previous posts and you really help people that are big exercisers and have questions, especially in the advanced stages of working out. I'm sure some of these people will be in the advanced work out stages at some point but some of them are working out for minutes so I believe looking at their heart rate is a pretty big deal for their health.

I'm not sure who this is addressed at, but for me it is an access issue. Nobody should feel like exercising has to involve such expensive high tech equipment that it's out of reach. Checking one time with your finger or seeing your doctor for a stress test is a good idea, but nobody should feel like starting to exercise has to be super complicated.
