Personally, if I had an hour, a day or an email to talk to someone about MLing, I would chose a guy like Cayugad, Sabotloader or Underclocked as well as a few others off of other boards in a hearbeat before I would chose Randy Wakeman or Chuck Hawk.
In my opinion, these latter two guys have something to sell and their convictions are likely tochange just about as fast as the direction of money flow.
I have great respect and honor for all 5 of the men you mentioned for the wisdom and their willingness to share it with the ML community at no cost. As for the money flow, that is how they make their living, so I can't hold that against them. I believe they are honest and honorable men, and not shady or "off the cuff" with their endoresement of products.
