Don't forget that in the face of 3 disk drives that suddenly decide to 
play silly buggers, /no/ raid system will cope well.  You are not having 
a problem because of Linux software raid problems - your problem is due 
to bad hardware.  If you had a similar situation with a hardware raid 
system, it is quite unlikely that you would have had any chance of 
recovering your raid.  What spoiled your chances of recovery here is the 
unfortunate bad advice you found on a website - but that won't happen 
again, since you now know to post here before trying anything!

The key lesson to take away from this experience is to set up a backup 
solution /before/ disaster strikes :-)
