I almost passed up those conversatins, but stayed on the thread long 
enough to find the one most important peice of information that has 
(really!!!) improved my tuning... That is... tune one string with some 
tuning device (i use a pitch fork) and then tune (all other) strings to 
(that one) string that was tuned to the tuning device. That way, there 
isn't a huge deviation from the original "center" because all strings 
are being tuned from the same reference point.

I understand the concept about the "A" string being "more stable" and 
therefore start with that one. But I've had luck with the "B" string 
(because I tune my guitar down a whole step and so the "B" string is now 
an "A" string and the tuning fork is an "A" note). But I've had great 
luck with this.
