Yes Queen of Swords. I have posted a few times in the past about this issue. Clearly, I continue to disagree with both the wisdom and effectiveness of what you and others think is necessary. If you think you can save people from PA, that's fine with me, and I wish you luck. I believe there is something to say, however, for assuming people are adult enough to make their own decisions, and if they make mistakes to learn from them and write a better book the next time around.
Gordo, there's another group that you're failing to overlook: Those who do their research, find threads like this, and then decide not to go with PA. These threads aren't necessarily for people who have already fallen into the trap. They're to help people make a good informed decision. It might be easy to see how many people have gone for PA, but there is no way to know how many people have been offered a contract or discovered the company and then found threads like this and decided not to use it.
You mention an adult must make his/her own decisions, and I completely agree, but in order to make a decision we need to have all the information. If sites like this didn't exist and the only information out there was what PA says, making that decision would be a lot harder in the first place.
