I wonder why it was deleted, I didnt think it was anything wrong. And shocked admin are about this time of night, they need to get to bed, they have work in the morning.

Glad you saw it though, I thought I was going mad and that I had not really posted it.

Somebody else must be selling it on then - Franny the Folder Flogger will go psycho - not surprised it is being sold on - they probs feel hard done by and want to recoup their loss. It aint worth 50p

Probably because it looked like you were privately selling your wares.

Can you be doubly correct Savvy?

Or are you just correct or incorrect?

Don’t answer...it’s rhetorical:rotfl:

I thought I had read your post properly and, then, on a second look, split seconds later, I am confused:rotfl:. You say "...it's rhetorical".

What is? Since you have posted two questions and then said "...it's rhetorical". Which one of them is rhetorical? Or is it both?:rotfl:

I am sometimes incorrect (very rarely though, I maintain). However, when I find out I am incorrect, I then immediately change my view or position or amend whatever it was on which I was incorrect, so that I am then straight away correct.

I am just correct though:rotfl::p. (I don't mean that literally. And there, what I am referring to as not being meant literally is the part that says "I am just correct though", not the symbols afterwards that are just a joke.)

I am extremely often correct - and I also have, from time to time, a nasty habit of being right:D (in the context that people at CS places and suchlike don't really like:):o). From my POV, I also maintain that, whilst I am not always correct, I do tend to be correct most often and more often than most people do, that tend to believe all sorts of assumptions and incorrect things and continue to believe things - or appear to me strongly to do so - despite all rational evidence to the contrary.

I also occasionally fall into correctness, in that I don't realise that I am correct and being correct but I say something - that most people, because I did not say it forcefully enough or with enough conviction to know I was right - then ignore but then, months or sometimes years later, in hindsight, it becomes clear (at least to me if no-one else) that I had actually been completely right at the outset. I have been "correct by accident" if you will. I didn't know the point I wanted to raise at the time and I didn't hit the actual central issue direct on the head (because I was unaware of what that was at the time) but I had said things around it that turn out to be right. I think I may just have this natural tendency of knowing things way in advance, when no-one else does.

I'll answer both as I can't resist, even though I am told not to. Will be very brief though (so that's all right). You can be correct on one thing and incorrect on another. You can be correct on two different things at the same time and, therefore, doubly correct.

Or some other permutation:D. Possibly:rotfl:.

Anyway needless to say the so called folder ( an email) is a load of twaddle. You have to print it yourself - after paying £18 for a folder I thought I was getting an item in the post for goodness sake. The contents of this email are rubbish - how to do yellow sticky shops lol. When you ask where your hard copy is you are told to go to the library to print the twaddle. It is badly written with inaccuracies and misspellings - anyway advice - do you think I am being unreasonable? Would you feel "HAD" if you purchased something that was a poor rehash of bits and pieces from HUKD and MSE?

It depends on what was advertised and what was received - and a folder can be electronic or hard copy? Information and advice can invariably be found online if you know where to look - but if you don't know about MSE and similar sites where this is freely available, then some people may think it is new information,. It must be frustrating though if you have paid out and it isn't what you were expecting - if it isn't as advertised, can you charge back through PayPal? Complain to FB?

There are various examples of this type of publishing - and supposed ground breaking inside information which is nothing of the sort. They are designed to separate the curious from their cash.
