Re[2]: LEARNING TOOL (30-day free trial!!!)

Eric,

I'm inclined to give folks a lot of slack, but I think we're dancing close
to the edge here. You say it's applicable to some recent questions: I
didn't see the questions, but then I may easily have missed them, so I'll
take your word for it.

But now we're all the way into the Marketing Zone. Against the opinions of
some accomplished professionals we're asked to balance a bunch of vague
testimonials from folks who, as far as we can tell, have no basis for
comparison, little or no knowledge of the field, and, for that matter, who
may not even exist.

I ask you, haven't we crossed over the line from intelligent discussion to
blatant commercialism?

I don't know about the rest of you, but if it comes to a contest between
the judgement of the mysterious "Cindi", "Brandon", and "Nuriya" (we'll
leave aside the bubble-headed High school kid) against Jim Chevallier's, I
know who I'll trust. (And, for the record, I am not affiliated in any way
with Mr. Chevallier, and have disagreed with him on issues in the past.)

FWIW, I tried to access the site to see what it looked like. How many bugs
were there? Can't say. You see, I couldn't even get in the door to try it.
