Nice hyperbole My LLoyd, you have a way with words I'll give you that.
I'll try to be brief...
1) Now I understand - what you call an agenda, I would just call an opinion. I'm fully prepared to admit to what I don't know, which is why I didn't express an opinion of the pros and cons of Eagle Jet (although it does sound like an utter waste of money to my inexperienced eyes). However, my opinions on this thread and others were expressed at the fairly substantial number of my potential collegues who think that there is a certain level to which you should pay for your own training, but any forking out of money after that is somehow 'letting the side down'. My opinion could be summed up as 'Life isn't always fair and if you want to be a pilot in the current climate, then you have to do whatever it takes'. I wouldn't have thought that differed drastically from most other wannabes, stillis's or hasbeens.
2) Fearsome, freeminded and freespeaking as I am - I will try and help others if I have the knowledge. If someone still goes ahead and wastes their money on unnecessary training after big-brained chaps such as yourself have told them not to, I shan't tell them otherwise.
3) Use of the word usurious - 'twas a tongue-in-cheekish swipe at the banks, who whilst happy to help you through your training, will obviously want their pound of flesh at the end. Won't stop me using them if I have to though, and hats off to HSBC who at least seem to know there is such a thing as commercial aviation training. I would obviously never use the word usurious in real life, as no one I know would have a clue what it meant.
4) Moderators take this BB and their roles within it far too seriously. Fact? No just my opinion (sorry, 'agenda'). I appreciate the work you've put in to make this the best aviation site around (IMHA) but chill Bobbyboy, chill.
Not brief, but never mind.
