Don't give me the credit, the work was all yours.
Personally if I were thinking of joining the cadetship I'd be thrilled by this thread. If I was going to commit to something that large I'd want to hear all the view points. If I could read the negative views yet still feel it was the right thing to do, then my actions would be based on more balanced decision making than just reading the "It'll be a six year orgasm!" that the advertising would most likely be. If you join, and it turns out to be fantastic, then you can have a good chuckle to yourself at the bitter and twisted gnomes still snuffling around in their light twins.
