U could definetly tell the women are not on the forums !!
I was there! And I even knew the answer to one of the trivia questions but didn't say my answer loud enough to be heard on the men's side...

Thanks Dan, you were absolutely fantastic!

The only difficult part was the Q&A when it was tough to hear your responses to the questions.  There were two reasons for that; A) It was very noisy B) The sound from the speakers was going to the back of the hall, hence right in front of you it was difficult to make out what you were saying.

BTW to whoever contributed the projector  screen, in case you didn't realize, it has holes!  (thanks for the screen)

This is my take on the seminar.....what I knew was a quick review and what I didn't know was said too quickly for me to learn anything
I learned a lot. But my sister, who I sort of dragged along with me, is a real newbie and was a little lost.

Don’t pay attention to the sexist comments. If I wrote a book about all the stupid questions men asked on DDF it would be longer than “Gone With the Wind”.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Agree partially
Second half was pretty new, and said real fast.
But if you're new the only way to learn is trial and error.
U need to try and miss

I know the first part well.
Did some mistakes but that is tge only way to learn...
The 2nd half got a lot more advanced than I planned.  It would take many hours to bring a true beginner up to speed.

Thanks Dan!
You're quite a good speaker... Directly to the point, very easy to understand.
In just two hours, he basically said everything there's to read on DDF... even what's in JJ's signature...
Wish I had such a seminar 2 years ago, wouldn't have to spend so much time DDFing...
Thanks!

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
