@Steve Freides - I’m writing this because I assume that the good people at S1 are genuinely interested in the opinions of their students/customers.
I, for one, am interested in the work, and will buy the Kindle edition when it’s available, in order to support S1 and in appreciation of what you are doing. Not because I have a great need for the information in the book at the moment, but because I feel that I have received much more from S1 than I have given.
I suspect that I am not the only customer with this approach to S1, and therefore think that it is in S1’s financial interests to maintain that perception of your brand.
As
@Dekapon is trying to tell you, but you refuse to hear, the official S1 stance regarding the contents of the book, and of strong endurance in general, leave people feeling that you are now trying to monetize the brand, and have become a less reliable source of information in the process.
This was felt when people were discussing their strong endurance experiences here (“I’m doing 044. Sorry, can’t say what it is”), and I believe that has contributed to the decreased activity in these forums.
It is of course S1’s how to act in this manner, and within your rights to monetize - but loyal customers will probably be lost.
P.S - please don’t take this as a personal offense. You come across as a very good guy. It’s the official company motto that I (among others) have a problem with.
