Well said sajidnuml. Indeed i did not come up with an argument with respect to other academies. As i said in my posts earlier, i do not judge neither do i further the practice of judging others on preconceived notions. I provided my account and i left the space open for others to share their experiences.
I do not advocate other academies nor do i think they're saints. All these popular academies are out to suck your wallets dry. In a way you're right dude except that i hold no grudges against OA or any other academy. If you feel like joining OA, feel free. I can't stop or force you to make a decision :P
