an·ec·dote n
a short personal account of an incident or event

just to clarify, what i mean to say is that i read people mouthing off about how bad Ellusionist is or Penguin is etc. however generally speaking, when scrutinised there is often little substance to their "anecdotes".

in other words, i am yet to see anyone who (other than anecdotally) offers dramatically better value on comparable items on consistant basis.

I like the Ellusionist dvd's and Brad Christians style of teaching. Crash Course 1 & 2 and Ninja 1 & 2 are excellent imho. I have to say I like penguin and Oz's teaching less so but thats just my personal preference. I've learned a lot on the ellusionist forum so I dont see why its so popular to bash them. Reminds me of the way people love to hate Microsoft too.
