General Consumer Articles:Week in Review December 1-7, 2008
I have been working a lot of hours, and writing this site is about the only area where the time factor can give. I've got a new article queued up for tomorrow (and it's a goodie: Presenting Offers In Person), but I'm not certain I'll be able to find more time to write this week.
Newly Written Articles

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
