One of my personal peeves about this site, adesk news groups, and others; is the tendency of users to hide their true identity.
I encourage all of you to throw your masks away and show people who you really are.
Methinks you don't understand the nature of using a discussion forum. I absolutely do not want to be linked to a real name, why? BECAUSE IT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO USING A DISCUSSION SYSTEM, our identities are paramount. The last thing I want is some jack*** calling me at my real job, to discuss my use of Autodesk products. Trust me, if Autodesk thought they could get everybodies real name, and send them more marketing junk, they would.
Second, at the end of the day when someone on hear proclaims that none of us understand the product, or are somehow inferior because of the way we use the product, we can blow it off, call the guy an a**hat, and never think twice about it. Its when somebody starts using my name, and my family name, to make a considerably more personal attack, well, then we leave and never come back.
My pet peeve about this board and AUGI, and adesk's fanboy site, are the turf wars. The Hey don't poke your head up over the wall or the turf king is going to come squash you.
Back to the subject at hand, the book is very nicely done, and what you want is the book to denigrate autodesk for screwing up here or screwing up there? Then that book becomes a 'commentary on the failure of megacorp'. Wow, what a thriller. I bet that one would sell like hot-cakes. The book has lots of great info, and for those of us that learn well from books, and learn by self-teaching, and exploration, then it's a great book, and good resource.
Cheers.
