A bit harsh CA?  Giving knowledge doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with altruism.  What's the old saying about giving a man a fish and feeding him for a day?  A businessman will charge for the fishing rod  ;D

[h4ppy-chris]

No sorry CA.

Then, you are doing it for yourself, and not for "you guys". 

And CT is correct, you REALLY should change the foot note to your avatar  :

If that's the way you feel CA that's fine.

A bit harsh CA?

I don't think it is a bit harsh at all!

So many people on this forum willingly give their information for free (to help other members...which, as far as I can tell, is what this forum is all about).  AND they don't put that sort of footnote on their avatar!  :-X

Personally (and it IS my personal opinion), I do not believe this forum is a place for people to submit silly innuendos in order to market their wares for their own personal gain.

On reflection that footnote does come across as a bit conceited... sorry Chris

[h4ppy-chris]

All Happy now.

[Cory Ander]

All Happy now.

Not really, perhaps you can add the footnote "those that are truly knowledgeable will not share it but will charge for it"?  :

I don't see the problem in charging a reasonable sum for the information; it would be lovely if it were free but someone has to give up their precious time to do it for us and possibly have paid in some way for this information originally so why can't they recoup their outlay and make a couple of pounds on top?  Just my opinion of course

[Cory Ander]

It is your opinion, SP, and that's fair enough. And I accept that.

But, as I said, this forum (in my opinion) is about freely sharing information with other members of this forum.  Many people readily do that, for no financial gain, whatsoever.  AND they don't put footnotes to their avatar proclaiming it! 

And then post innuendos and appear to be intent on doing otherwise...

it's quite surprising the various "needs" of members.

what i'm getting at is that any book needs to deliver on whatever it promises - simple as that.

of all the books i've heard of (and certainly not bought) there is always a caveat suggesting "style" or "home" when restaurant is what we crave for nothing less. i suppose it's buyer beware.

i'd love to be proved wrong but i just can't see h4ppy-chris book delivering something we don't already know.

i base this on the quality of the BIR dishes i produce - not from books only from this forum. all anyone needs is here already. yes i still have much to learn of BIR but i'm well passed my original objective.

i do wish h4ppy-chris the very best with the book (i like the guy and if he can make money out of his efforts then great - just don't con the membership if something is not going to deliver - the jury is out and as i said earlier fingers are crossed - having been disappointed in the past i'm just very weary that the grass is portrayed as greener when it never is.

Yes " i am a member" and my "needs" was the need to know.

It will, why would i spend my time to do it? just to put out another book saying the same old thing? NO!

The book is based on takeaway.

You have all the pieces on this forum, in one way or another! You will see from the book!
