Actually it isn't so obvious to me that people posting on rockclimbing.com don't climb multipitch or lead belay.
My first lead belay was on a multipitch and my second lead climb was also on trad multipitch. Both of these I did well before posting on rockclimbing.com So no. Im not well aware.
Furthermore I didn't realise that the reverso3 was in anyway designed for lead belaying multipitch. It works very well single pitch and very well on belaying seconds.
I bought harness, belay, 2 carbiners and a sling on my second trip out to the crag. I am to this day glad I bought the recently released reverso. My advice to the original poster is certainly influenced by this. Your advice seems to be disparaging of a beginner looking to get into this sport.
