Is anyone using LAST?

Has anyone used LAST (record preservative) and if so, what are your thoughts? I used it years ago, before I got out of vinyl, and don't remember having any problems. Since getting back into vinyl (about 3 years now) I've started using it again.
In Stereophile, a few issues ago, someone wrote Fremer and said LAST was messing up their LP's.

I have been using LAST since the early 80's and have had no problems whatsoever. My record surfaces are extremely quiet with no signs of wear - I am a firm believer in LAST.

The person who claims that LAST is "messing up their albums" is either not using it correctly or has a more serious underlying problem.

I used it in the 80s and can tell no difference from untreated albums

I 'USED' LAST.. but no more. I just got into vinyl less than 4 months ago and LAST was the first cleaning system that I bought. I bought the vinyl cleaner+preservative, and also the stylus cleaner+preservative.

But I found that in my system, the the LAST preservative make my vinyl sounding dull and roll-off.

So I have stop using the preservative, I still use the stylus cleaner though. As for vinyl cleaning, I have switched to Audio Intelligent 3-step solutions.
