Re: avoiding sore knees....

Certainly maintaining a high spin rate (item #3) and strengthing the muscles
around the knee (item #4) are valid, but I question the other two points.

Setting your cleats so that you pedal slightly pigeon-toed (item #1) is not
really the point.  I think you should be set up so that your knees travel in
the most 'natural' rotational path possible.  Forcing your knees to travel
in some arbitrary path could only worsen the situation.

Item #2 (using one size 'too small' toe clips) confuses me. What is this 
supposed to accomplish?
