@david – you know I don't say anything here I would not repeat face to face. I'd love to see AW up its game. With 90K subscribers it can do a fantastic job at education if it so chose and had the smarts with which to execute. The fact it has missed the point on much of this is distressing given the time and effort peeps like your good self have put in. I'd prefer the dialog than the constant 'suck up' to those that don't wish to understand. Taking a position has value. I will continue to do so.

On reviewing this post I will readily admit I've blown a fuse. But that's not a bad thing from time to time.

Excellent question – can't be found on Google ergo irrelevant in the wider conversation.

Agree completly Stuart – it's barmy. It's the way their new platform is set up. These discussion forums are a good idea, but unlike Any Answers, you have to “join” the group. There are currently only 120 or so members – a real shame, because amongst the noise from the SaaS detractors there is some really good content and links. I can't fathom why they do it this way.

When I clicked on “not trying to ameliorate those that don’t wish to be convinced” to go to AW's forum I was denied access!

Why the h*** is it a closed forum?
