I just read through the link you posted and I'm getting the idea now. I am in Nola so I have to prune or I'll have mildew issues. I think I'm accomplishing roughly the same thing though, I stake each plant and tie off loosely just below each flower cluster. Vine goes up vertically along the stake as long as you don't let it droop over too long. About once a week I prune off the two lowest branches to let some air flow in and allow the plant to put more towards fruiting and new growth.

You are doing exactly what you are supposed to do. Also by pruning off the lower stems you are allowing more nutrients to the top of the plant for new flowers and existing tomatoes
