Hi there guys,

I'm just curious who follows this site daily.

What do you think about it? Do you find it helpful or educational?

If not, any recommendations for other sites?

I used to read it all the time - in like 1997-98. Then around 2000ish they went from a very informative site with all free content to a site that basically just tries to get you to buy their books, subscriptions to their site, and subscriptions to their newsletter. Bleh. I haven't looked at it since.

I've found them to be wildly inaccurate and of little use.

ok, that just reconfirms my earlier beliefs that the site isn't too reliable.
