Weblogger Jim Cronin is a vendor, and this might ordinarily put him on my suspect list. But he is so forthcoming with valuable information that two things come across very clearly: He cares more about <i>you<\/i> getting results than <i>his<\/i> getting a sale, and, in consequence, he&#8217;s probably just the vendor you want if you do decide to make a purchase. I&#8217;m not his cheerleader &#8212; nor even his customer.
