See, that's the thing... I'm really not into trashing someoen just for sport.

Garden's just doing his marketing thing on the cheap.

That's fine. But at the same time it's like he doesn't care whether he makes money from them 'cause he's acting like a dork half the time.

When he gives answers - well - he has not proven to me that he's got enough experience to answer questions from whatever somebodys budget is.

These posts he makes should be like samples of his work. To be selling vids he ought to be able to show in his answers that he understands growing from more than one perspective, set of situations, budgets, etc.

But instead he just does this mindless phishing, taking up bandwidth instead of paying for some advertising on this site at least in appreciation for all the people who gave him everything except his $2000 Sony vid cam.

And then stop actiing like he's joe grunge instead of some call center guy in India you can't even understand half the time cause English is his second language.

Has anybody actually read his so called book?

If anybody has the time, my official public challenge to Garden is at post #24 on this thread

In internet marketing circles the technique is known as bbbs jamming.

You put a link to your commercial site in your sig, that's innocent enough, then you sprinkle as much off color goofiness on as many threads as you can handle, without blowing your cover as somebody who cares about sharing information and helping others.

It's really pretty slick. I mean. You can't pull it off unless you got some sense of manipulation like psychology and shit. Real easy to do online mostly preying on the unsavvy or wannabee street wise beginners who come here.

We experienced guys aren't intimidated by it.
But younger or shyer people or paranoid people can be all the more turned off about daring to post questions and ideas.

That's all. Check the thread out. We'll see if he's anything more than a doubletalkin illusion.
