I mean I used to recommend Rippetoe stuff without much reservation. Based on my past if I was "cynical" I never would have done that. But I continued to ask questions and keep a skeptical mind and I altered my view-point somewhat.

A good example that I've noticed is that I recommended EC's Maximum Strength book to Anuj and since then it's become very popular. It's a great program but of course everything has it's drawbacks. But then I notice that some people are taking every little thing in it, such as the Biotest pimping, lol, like gospel. So, you know, I'm just saying, let's keep our heads about us here!
