Ben,No offense, but it's kind of annoying that you're using this board to hock your wares. I know you want to make a couple extra bucks, but in my opinion, that's not what this board is for. If you have the answer to someone's question, then answer it. I know that you still do answer some questions, but if everyone just replied to posts with, "I'll answer your questions and 1,000,000 more for only $19.95!" then this board would die. It's about community and sharing, not making a buck.Sorry, but I just got a little annoyed that instead of trying to help a junior member, you're trying to make a buck off of them.Then again, this is America, right? JoePS- I really hope that the tips and tricks and guides that you are selling are not taking tools and ideas that other people have posted here and reselling them as your own. I saw this happen on another board that will remain nameless where a member took all the technical discussions/solutions/tips and published a book on them under her name. None of the people that actually originally wrote the documentation were credited, nor did they receive compensation for their work. It amounted to blatant theft in a lot of the members' minds. Once again, I have nothing against trying to make an honest buck, I just may be in a grumpy mood this morning, but your sales pitches instead of aid just strike me as a little out of place for this board.
