Rick,

I still can't understand why you bash Reed's arguments?

Who cares what his motivations are, if his arguments hold water???

As for Robert Allen and Legrand... I have nothing against charging exhorbitant fees if you're delivering something that no one else in the market is delivering and if what you're teaching is on the up and up. But when there are many other players in the field offering better products at cheaper prices, then basically what you're left with is somebody who takes advantage of the newbie and the inexperienced.
