Outstanding commentary, it is refreshing to see someone finally get's it. I
took me quite a few hard earned dollars to realize that my time and effort
should be concentrated on the activities you mentioned, as opposed to
searching for the easy, holy grailish method of paying the 'so called'
experts for their advice.
I was also getting a little disappointed with the list, but alas, there
seems to be some light at the end of this list's tunnel.
