That's pretty good advice.

I thought it'd be pretty useful for beginners along with the stickies

I wonder if we can get permission to post this as an article. Since you found it, you go ask.

I've asked. The author is very crank about anything as such (been victim of hotlinking, content theft etc) - so a big bold NO was the reply.

He's promised to explain tomorrow and maybe allow something further, but he doesn't permit nor tolerate his content being reproduced anywhere but on his own site (hits and donations you see)

Here's the first reply followed by the pertinent sections of the third correspondence. The second email basically listed what the first email link does i.e. anything on my site has to remain there no matter what, no hotlinking, no copying/pasting or reproduction of the material, no editing, no hosting elsewhere but only a direct link to my site is permitted, or I will take all legal proceedings possible!

Hi,

I don't allow my guides to be hosted anywhere else for any reason. For more details please see:

Hi,

As indicated in the link I provided earlier, you're welcome to link to any page or guide on my site. If you want to compile a list of links to the various guides in one place, that's fine.

In terms of 'mass reading', well the contents of each guide are clearly spelled out on the front page of the guide. The TGTC has a 10-page table of contents in it as well. To be honest I tend not to pander too much to people who are too lazy to read my guides. If they consider looking at the first page of a guide or a table of contents "too hard" then they're welcome to go elsewhere. My philosophy has always been to help those who want to help themselves.

Cheers,
Koroush

Well, if that's his wish then we should honor it. Thanks for trying.
