I don't get it. It's like watching a movie. If you have a question or get lost in the middle, hold it out till the end. Of course if your a really nOOn you will have questions, but that's part of it. I don't feel it's right for others to ask questions in middle. If Dan wants to take the time after, that's a different story.

IMO, the best way to address as many people's questions without spending too much time answering questions after each topic,  is to have participants email their questions beforehand. These questions should be answered after each topic and then have a Q&A session at the end...

How about having a moderator like a veteran DDF'er taking questions via email and handwritten during the seminar. He can then pass along the good ones to Dan to be addressed.

Good can be something asked by many people, or something important that many can benefit from.

This will weed out the real noob questions, and the ones that only pertain to a single attendee.

Ok I'm really not understanding something here.

Everyone is saying they should mail,email, text and everything else to Dan before and then Dan will address the main questions. But if you have a question now....post it here!

As meir613 said...it's like a movie. Who has questions on the plot/character BEFORE the movie?? If you have questions before...ask here. If you have questions in middle either wait till end and pray Dan will pick you to ask your question or sign up to ddf and ask the question. What's so hard to understand? A question in middle of the seminar might help someone but it will lose a lot more ppl then help.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

At the seminar last year I brought along a few noob friends and they told me that the questions in the middle got them confused because they where on a higher level and then the whole seminar continued on a higher level

well considering that there are only 15 ddfers attending, dan was asking about what he should do for the other ppl. obviously the ddfers would post here.

DDF elite benefit:
Lifetime Plats as well as those with at least 10 Main site deals can enter the hall first for their pick of seats and they can also be added onto sold out seminars.
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.

So I can just be a walk in if I decide to show up? (I have both qualifications  :) )

It should be either tweet it or text it , if not going to get out of hand.
Also Dan should explain about ddf in detail so people will join and they could ask it here.

Besides being for noob ,Dan I'm sure wants people to become more experienced in this game , and then they could eventually ask over here so everyone can learn.
