\"ADI<\/a>As regular readers will know, a version of this blog appears in ADI News. Indeed, some readers originally found the blog via <\/em>ADI News.<\/p>\n

In the December issue I wrote about CPD and questioned its value to me as an ADI in its current form. What triggered that article was several of my own experiences. However, I noticed shortly afterwards that a web forum was looking at the possibility of awarding CPD to people just for being registered users – and charging \u00a310 for the privilege. I mentioned this in the January magazine column.<\/p>\n

It should come as no surprise to anyone that most of the material for this blog is prompted by things I experience day-to-day. That includes what I read in newspapers, magazines and – yes – on the internet across many web forums..<\/p>\n

I am careful not to mention specific websites in these internet cases.<\/p>\n

It seems that someone on one of the forums has taken exception to this. It’s a shame, because all this blog (and the ADI News column) is is a personal take on bits and bobs relating to the industry (and, in many cases, nothing to do with the industry at all). It’s designed to be a bit edgy – to make people think. The “anonymous” part is a bit of fun (like “The Stig”, who most petrolhead ADIs want to have sex with). There’s no way everyone should be expected to agree with me, any more than I am likely to agree with everyone else.<\/p>\n

A bit like most web forums, really.<\/p>\n

I would hope the person who appears upset can recognise all of this and read the articles accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
