agree with qaz221, i bought the book, it is good to have all the info, but it does not substitute searching on the forums and asking questions - at some point a newbie will have questions, no matter how often he read the book. I appreciate the help ppl offer on this forum, actually I wonder why the admin would not put a thread kind of summarizing some of the frequent asked basic questions and answers, by just putting a few links together. I understand this is additional work but it also minimizes repeated asking/answering/type the sentence "buy the book".
i don't know if ppl would thus not buy the book because they find some answers easily. I bought the book anyways. I mean one can put this kind of thread in the subscriber forum to ensure ppl go there after reading the book.
i myself find it very time consuming to use the search function - sometimes you are lucky to find what you need, most times you spend hours reading through all the posts and end up with confused information. Unlike the experienced members on this forum, a newbie gets confused very easily.
just my 2 cents Quote:

With the advancement of the internet and the free flow of information, £300 is alot of money to be spending on info that is already widely available for free. If you wanna buy the guide, go ahead. You will benefit from it. I'm not saying you wont.
It's just funny how alot of people avoid answering honest questions that take literally 2 minutes to answer, and just suggest buying the ebook. I mean, their post contributes to nothing other than some guy getting money in his bank.
