Hey Sevy, i agree with you about the address 'pd-tutorial.com' issue. It would have been much nicer if the author wouldn't have choose a quite totalitarian web address, but...
i cannot agree at all about your second statements. How one can start to create different processes and technique without knowing which is the standard? How can you hate an/or despise the Holy Bible without ever read it?
If a standard wouldn't exists than something "different" wouldn't exists as well. We want to make the people as free as possible to create different strategies, but then we don't trust them enough to believe that learning from a tutorial they could do something original?
