I am having a very hard time as seeing this as anything but spam. Sad Please try to offer something of value to the community, such as contributing to other discussions or at the very least explaining how your service is worth looking into.

Dan, This appears to be a service that writes resumes and letters of introduction to college coaches for high school athletes. They of course charge a fee for this service. I ran across a few of them when my daughter was going through the recruiting process. We were able to do the same thing these services do and never had a problem getting college coaches to communicate with her.

I understand what the service is, but what isn't clear is why this person thinks it is worth our while to check it out. The means of advertising the service inspires very little confidence in the service itself, which is why some sort of explanation and personalization is absolutely necessary.

My guess is he is fishing for clients.

60 degrees today. I ran in shorts and tee shirt. More of that crazy south Georgia weather.

I think that as with any type of advertising in/on any medium that one should be willing to verify/authenticate what one is offering .. And this forum is primarily for discussion, not for advertising .. Especially when the host of the site is offering this space at no charge for the basis of discussion .. Smile
