What does everyone else think? Perhaps we could try merging it in to the main guide and see if there's any major impact - it could always be unmerged if needed later. Perhaps the main guide could be renamed "Read this first - The Ultimate BA, BAEC and Upgrades Guide!" or similar?

I really don't want to see all those threads returning again - people used to get quite upset when told they'd need to pay
