I have a problem with the overall premise of your article but I still think its really informative. I really like your other posts. Keep up the great work. If you can add more video and pictures can be much better. Because they help much clear understanding.
thanks Arturoromer.
Thanks for your candid comment. Please do elaborate on your concern with the post. I’m anxious to hear your thoughts on that. As for video and other enhancements, I have that in my requirements for the next release of the site, hopefully in early 2011. Respect!
