MSTT is Roy's brilliant newsletter. It's the best MS educational
product there is for learning to use and apply MS. It's well worth the
money, and in fact outside of the basic MS program itself, it's the
only thing I think that is useful for MS users. It's also the only MS
ancilliary product that I think will make you any money, and over the
years I've tested in one way or another almost all of the MS products.
I'm not in favor of a an MSTT group for two reasons. Roy is over
worked as it is publishing the newsletter. Everything in the
newsletter is tested and retested before the newsletter is published,
so in addition to writing it, publishing it and sending it out, Roy
has to vet everything in it. That's enough for one guy to do.
If Roy feels he has the time, I'm okay with whatever he wants to do.
I'm just not going to pressure him into something that would cause him
to work more than he already has to.
Even if Roy had such a group it would be limited to MSTT subscribers
only. So anyone who wants to belong would have to subscribe to the
newsletter. And in my opinion, Roy should raise the price
substantially. The newsletter is way too cheap. Anyone who has
followed even 10% of the advice since the first newsletter was
published should have made many 1000s of dollars more than the cost of
a subscription, and what Roy is going to publish in the next few
months is even more beneficial to making money. (Of course, you can
lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.)
Secondly, if someone else starts an MSTT group, there's the question
of intellectual property, especially if the group isn't limited to
subscribers. (If I were Roy I wouldn't give anyone else my subscribers
list so they could limit it.)
If the group had a lot of debate, or questions about the content of
the articles, the posting of those debates would reveal the
copyrighted material. In addition, the only people who can answer
questions about the content are the people who wrote the articles. (
Roy doesn't write all of them.) If Roy doesn't answer the questions
submitted by the group, what are the answers really worth. And if Roy
does start posting to that group, then he's in the time drain problem
again.
I think the two MS groups we have now are adequate. Everyone gets
their questions answered. Outside of the boards, the newsletter
subscribers get an amazing array of MS knowledge and useful code.
That's enough in my opinion. If you can't figure out how to make money
from that, another board isn't going to get it done for you.
I read comments about how people appreciate what Roy does, etc.
especially in terms of giving free coding help. In my experience,
everyone always says they appreciate what someone else is giving them
for free, but they're willing to do little themselves in return. So
how real is the appreciation. For example, if Roy's OX were stuck in a
ditch how many people of the 100s of people that Roy has helped, would
give up their day to help him get his OX out of the ditch. Maybe one
or two.
I see a number of comments like "I appreciate the free stuff Roy
provides this board, BUT" As soon as I see the BUT, I know someone
values their opinion, or complaint, or whatever at a much higher level
than they value Roy's contributions. I've seen the same thing applied
to Jose, and others.
What I think most people want is more "free" stuff, and they really
don't care what it takes for other people to provide it to them. It's
the welfare state for MS users. Why learn to program your own code
when someone is going to give it to you. In fact, why even read the
manual or anything else fundemental to using MS. Someone on here will
tell you how to color your bars!
Don't get me wrong, some people would go out of their way to help Roy,
or even to assist other people they might not even know. The problem
is there are far too few of those people, and far too many who want to
take and take and take and give little back.
Here's one example. How many people would help protect the
intellecttual property of MSTT on hehalf of Roy? I know only a few,
even though Roy's work benefits many. There are those who would claim
that Roy should write and publish the newsletter for "free"--like it's
some type of entitlement.
Too many people on this board and the other board who only post when
they have a complaint or when they want a piece of code. Otherwise
they contribute nothing. Let's not leave out the lurkers who read
everything but never put in anything that might be beneficial. No,
that takes work.
In reality, everyone has something useful to contribute--a book
review, some experience, or a piece about something they found useful.
They just don't want to give up their time writing a post. They would
prefer Roy, Jose or others do it for them. Writing this post took a
lot of my time.
As soon a I piss off some lurker, they get all fired up to post their
counter pissing message, but then they go back to lurking. Wow, thanks
for helping!
That's sort of the long answer to what is MSTT. You can subscribe at
www.metastock.co.nz.
It's the best piece of MS work out there. And it's dirt cheap! But it
ain't free--nor should it be.
