Going to have to take issue with you there. Nothing posted on the blog is secret, or something that 'veterans' are 'keeping to themselves'. All the info posted is already on FT - in plain English and with no secret codes used or PMs required. It just takes a bit of reading to get to it all. Having it that way means that one has to invest a little effort in order to get the reward, which I think is all good and just. The fact that this is so also means that those who are serious get the deal, but those who cannot be bothered to do the work do not. This 'natural selection' keeps volumes down and
makes deals last longer.
Again - these deals are available to everyone who wants them and always were. There is an implicit understanding among the community that this is how things should be and pretty much everyone so far has respected that.
The level that MMS has gone to in order to do practically everything apart from sign up on your behalf is way, way too much. It plays straight into the hands of the companies that monitor traffic pertaining to them and all done so that the author can pamper his own ego by building traffic and appearing to play the good guy. His actions will kill deals faster and this he is fully aware of (he's no newcomer), all so he can make a name for himself. Big, big thumbs down from me.
