I understand the philosophy behind your decision. I actually thought about it before I suggested it. However, if I were to have one place as sort of a clearinghouse for information, why would I go elsewhere? If a restaurant is good, you go there. You may try another, but you'll go back to the one that treats you the best, has the best food, the best atmosphere, and is the best experience. Service counts more than anything else in this world, and if you treat people better than anyone else does, you have little to fear from competition. If you are weak, then you may lose a customer, but most customers remember who treated them the best, and recommend the business to others.

There is so much good information on poker out there that it is simply impossible to keep up with it all. I forget to check Pokerpages for new articles all the time. When someone posts a link to some interesting thread somewhere, I open it in a new window, and go back where I was when I finish reading it. I especially like software that opens the link in a new window for me.

Just a view through the glass from the outside.

You do have some exceedingly good points. Let's continue with the current policy for the immediate future and review this in a few weeks. I may well come around to your way of thinking.

tetsuo,

I do understand your viewpoint and dont totally dissagree. But, I like C.J.'s view too.
If I saw an interesting link I would go visit and noodle around some but always return here. This is home! Doesnt mean I dont want to visit someone elses house, but will always return "home".

Hmmmmmmm..........

Absolutely will report any Spamming Ass Clowns, which may be a registered trademark. I also hope we can encourage members to take advantage of the change. Calling it BTP meets Poker Google.

Thanks for listening and the ability to change your mind.

All best wishes.

ps--Will this be a separate topic or a topic buried under Books, software, etc? I hope K and I have made a good enough argument to support a separate topic.

I'll bet you even up it will get a LOT of traffic if it's clear and available. I'll also bet you even up that if it's a buried topic, it won't get any attention at all, defeating the whole purpose.

Reading list, Views You Can Use, And now for something completely different...

Don't care what you call it, so long as it's something.

Thanks again.

I've created a separate forum area.

And guess what....

You and Kowboy are the moderators

Seriously, is that OK?

Ok, we're up and running with The Reading List.

Please post good articles and threads here so everybody benefits. Look out Google!
