and EJR, thanks a bunch for the useful input, bro. way to contribute to the conversation. hat's off.
I think you deserved it, no need to get butt hurt bro. Just a playful jest. I'm glad that you now see that anything that Treaded failed to mention, or failed to explain in his blog, will be explained in later blog posts. If there is anything I've learned from reading his blog, its that he's very organized, and his blog reads almost like a How-To book, yet instead of coming out with it all at one time, he's posting and publishing it as he gets finished writing it and the next blog post will either finish up a previous post, or start a new topic, and sometimes they are not chronological. The amount of good information that he is putting out on his blog is astonishing at best, and I'm amazed that one man has all this knowledge and expertise in his brain.
I think its amazing that he is doing what he is doing, and I don't know about you, but its hard for me just to sit back and absorb all the good information he is supplying. I think its good to ask questions and clarify. I would suggest however, that you read, sit back and try to absorb the information presented, and maybe be a little patient with him, before offering constructive criticism to his posts. I'm very glad that Treaded seems to have a cool head, and seem very intelligent with his replies.
With treaded, I just sit back and wait for the next bite of juicy information. I try to absorb it first, before I criticize. Also, he'll often leave notes about what he is going into next, but I don't think he should have to get in the habit of covering all the bases in one post, to try to avoid some constructive criticism. That's probably destructive to his time, thinking of sentences or disclaimers that people might miss anyway in his writing, when he could be just giving us more good information and knowledge in the next blog post.
All I'm saying is make sure that you read it all and try to absorb the information first, before offering any critiques or constructive criticism. Read it three times, sit and think about it first. Take notes in a survival journal. Print out the blog posts in a three hole punch journal, print it double space so you can make your own notes, and leave blank pieces of paper between to make more notes. See if he alluded to what will be in his next blog entry. Do I think that everything that Treaded writes is gospel and it cannot be challenged? Hell no, but I do take it as another arrow in my quill, and I do a lot of self-challenging to his work, that I think is wrong for my AO, or things that I would need to change and tweak. Most of what he says is right on, though. I just take the good, and leave the bad, the same thing I do with everything else that I read or research.
Also, everyone is in a different place, in a different situation, with different a different AO and different capabilities. There is no way Treaded can hit them all, because each one is unique and different, and takes its own individual plan. I give a hats off to Treaded for even trying to attempt to give good information that can be used by everyone no matter the specialized situation, because its very hard to do, to just stay general and not make the mistake of leaning on his own AO and his own situation in each of his posts.
