Dear Sue, I think you conveniently forgot to mention the price for the courses. I haven't been able to find any pricing information on your web site either. I must admit that it makes me slightly annoyed that I have to email you to get the price, to me it indicates some degree of shadyness. I suggest you put your prices out in the open so I don't have to put a lot of effort into evaluating if I think your courses are worth it. Usually I loose all interest in product where I can't easily see the price, and I'm sure that many of your potential customers agree with me on this. I also think you forgot to indicate in the subject line that this is a commercial post. I must admit that after re-reading the posting guide I can't find any guidelines about how to indicate commercial posts, but in my mind it should be indicated in the subject line out of common deciency. Of course I could be mistaken in that your courses are actually free of charge - in that case you have my apologies.
