Sfa observations

First I would like to commend everyone for their donations of "free Stone (http://g603.net) advice." This is a priceless site, which is why I wanted to state my opinions concerning this new sfa. I remember way back when "NTC Fred" began advising everytime a question was asked to buy the video....geez!!!!!! how annoying!!!!!! and (http://maplered.com) I'm not comparing the two SFA vs. Fred...not even in the same ball park!

While I've ready many posts here that state the sfa offers free membership, I've also noticed a new trend of responses. Recently it seems like many of the answers are simply "you need to join the SFA and (http://maplered.com) get allied," rather than just trying to answer the question. My worry is....will this be a new requirment for advice?

I debated heavily whether I should have posted this or not, because this could be interpreted negatively, but I have only the best intentions. I understand (http://maplered.com) that you guys want to recruit as many SFA members to help better the industry, but sometimes its better to give your feedback then at the bottom of the post express the need to join, otherwise, it seems as though everytime a question is asked you get a "pitch" of some sort.
