Fair enough. This is hackernews. I've passed the link to this comment thread along to the writer and we'll slowly educate the client base, one at a time.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I was the editor who commissioned the piece. To give some context the writer had about 12 days to write the article. An impartial observer (not me obviously) might get the impression that the people offering up advice here might need to take themselves a little less seriously. Have a lovely day and thanks for reading and commenting.

To answer the title, I think I'd have a much better idea after I lurked in a class first. Once I've experienced how it works I'd be able to make a more informed decision.

This socialization comment is one that my coworkers always brings up. "They're breeding serial killers" he half-jokes.
I wasn't very well socialized in school. Maybe that's why I was interested in writing this story.

The site is up now. On my own Wordpress installs I usually run SuperCache but it interferes with some of the custom hacking I've done on this template.
Thanks for the comment.

That's not the author with the comment, the author is Max Fawcett. That's me, the web editor, with a cheap throw to other content on our site.

I haven't seen any side effect data aside from the oft-quoted 1 in a million instance of GBS and occasional anaphalactic reactions.
