Thank you for the prompt reply Steve (and thank you Adam for clarifying that technical point).

I clearly stated that I think it's great that you generate income from your work (you certainly deserve to!).

You addressed a great deal of my concerns (thank you) but a couple of things remain unclear:
  1. The expression used in the ad - "Personal Development for Busy people" - suggests a 'shortcut' approach to personal development. How does this relate to the idea that personal development is a challenging, time-consuming journey that isn't for 'Dummies'?
  2. Given their efficacy, do Paraliminals supercede your earlier articles? (If so, please leave the articles up anyway since I can't afford Paraliminals!!)
  3. Is this blog entry a response to expression of concerns similar to mine?

In short; I'm sure noone objects to you making income (I certainly don't), but the 'flavour' of this particular advertising seems incongruous with the previous nature of your site.

Thank you.
