Yes! I'm sorry I probably should have been more specific because I of course am a subscriber but I end up with questions about methodology for example and it's not easy to find answers over there. So I guess a better question and perhaps it's you, is do you discuss methodology?

Oh, I see. I’d be happy to answer if I’m able. Feel free to send me a DM.
