My pleasure. Of course, I haven't listened to all of those. For example, Cpod's UI lessons are well beyond me. I like Melnyks and LCO because the lessons are progressive, but that will probably make it difficult to jump in without having listened to the earlier lessons. The other problem of course is the lack of PDFs, unless you want to become a paying member on all those sites.
