... so I hope it does for you too.
I got this email from Abe Books earlier today (I've C&Ped on the subject):

What a deal!
I'd be a sucker NOT to get it!
(To be fair, I think they meant to say 40%. They sent me another email with 40% off).

Hmm ... either "well-being" or "wellbeing" (sic) is considered OK. (It's obviously not a science, though).
Other than that ... nearly 3.4 million people enrolled, and only 27,099 ratings? Yes, I wouldn't trust a sample that small (less than 1%), especially when they give a rating that high.
Is that what you mean, DPX? If not, I've probably missed something obvious that I'd kick myself for later. *blush*

It's that it's "Enroll For FREE"
Then right next to it "Financial aid available"

Oh!
On the other hand, this Laurie Santos (whoever she is) could argue that while the
act of enrolling is free, the actual course/seminar/whatever isn't. Ye olde bait-and-switch.
Right?
Also, "Enrol for Free; Starts Mar 25" sounds suspicious. What starts on March 25, exactly? The enrolment process? Or the course/seminar/etc.?
This whole thing has 'litigation' written ALL over it ...

Er, what's wrong? *blush* I admitted I missed the point -- whoops -- but then I noticed a couple of other not-quite-kosher things about this. Is that a problem? *blush*
