P.S. You might have noticed, Keith, that I posted against Peggy's posts too, and made the same point as you that there are good and bad statistics to be quoted. Blinded by hatred of me or my employer you seem to have ignored those facts. I was astounded when you then round on me, I having given a neutral, unbiased post just countering your advert.

Not sure how you jumped from my (actual fact, as opposed to your "facts") statement that I had not used pass rates of good classes to advertise my employer, likewise Oxford Blue and Alex, to our notes. The only connection I can see is your sensitivity about criticism that has been leveled here at your notes, but if you actually look, I have never posted anything against any notes that mentioned Cabair or EPTA. I don't think I have specified which sets of notes I know to be up to the job, although if you can back your accusation I will accept that I have. If so I would mention at least Bristol, GTS and OATS as well, hardly advertising. In fact it is obvious I would choose those of my employer, so people would only take my endorsement of others at face value and I would actually be advertising other schools!

Do you realise you posted an advert for your book, while apologising for advertising (since many students try to get hold of as many questions as possible on the subjects they find hard, the possibility that they buy your book is hardly criticism of BCFT or ringing endorsement of EPTA) and what if some of our students approaching you for answers? Do you know how many people from all sorts of schools approach me for answers? Presumably they could go to their instructors too (yes, I include your own employer, some of whose students even approached me for private tuition. Shows how good your freebie is, if some are willing to pay). Anyone is free to ask us questions, our students and others, or to take questions elsewhere. Staff here have spent considerable time helping people who have never been customers of the school, happily in a spirit of helpfulness, as I am sure you do.

There are facts about your school I will not post (see, I tell the truth when I say I will leave facts unstated). I have just deleted them because slanging matches are unprofessional. However so are misleading statistics, and I will not let those pass without comment.
