    I don't think it's against the rules. Anywhere you can get good info is a bonus! Most of us here trust the people at AA!:) Yes, it is about time they did this article!

    I think the best thing to take from it is that having a quality reflector is the most important factor when PAR is concerned.

    such good articles cant be against the rules. 3reef has a duty to inform and it can't do that by killing information just because its on another site.
    may as well be book burning.
