Wires,

I suspect 90% of responses in said coaching forum would consist of "Come to the forums on Cardrunners/PXF/StoxPoker etc" with the other 10% being "Come speak to me on AIM, see your PM inbox for details".

The point is you have to weigh up the pros and cons - affiliates were well known to peddle their business pretty unscrupiously back in the days we 3 joined 2+2 - it needed to be specifically banned in the Zoo because it became a problem.

The same cannot be said of such businesses - ive never ever seen Taylor promote his company here - but when a thread about the site comes up in the various forums he will often show up to answer a question if an answer is required (see Brian/Aba/SBRugby sorting out a problem Nath brought up in the BBV forum).

To simply say because they are poker orientated that they are a competitor is silly, and its clear 2+2 doesnt plan on competing with such sites.

Further, the people who do coach around here dont go around saying so - the most they do is mention it in their location - and these deals are likely net benefits for 2+2 due to the redistribution and dispensing of knowledge.
