I didn&amp;#x27;t even click SUBMIT! o_O&lt;p&gt;Why would you assume that if I semi-filled a form I would probably go ahead and register? Maybe I don&amp;#x27;t want to register at this very moment?&lt;p&gt;Did you even consider that my NOT submitting the form was a conscious decision? Maybe I realized halfway through filling the form that my skill-set wasn&amp;#x27;t good enough to make me want to sign up now? Or my finances wouldn&amp;#x27;t allow me to maintain an account on your platform after six months? Or maybe, just maybe, I just didn&amp;#x27;t want to sign up right now?&lt;p&gt;Why would you take my email ID from a non-submit-clicked form and NOT tell me that you had taken it? Why? o_O&lt;p&gt;Even worse, why would you email me asking &amp;#x27;did I forget to take my cloud&amp;#x27;? How do I know you are not going to spam me with your promotional offers in the future? How do Iknow you are not going to sell (or worse, &amp;#x27;inadvertently leak&amp;#x27;) my email address to some third party?</text></comment>

Kind of like how Linode does: &lt;a href=&quot;https://library.linode.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;library.linode.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; Common things like how to run a mail server, how to get a LAMP&amp;#x2F;LEMP&amp;#x2F;LNPP&amp;#x2F;$XYZ setup going on, etc. Not full books or anything, just stuff to get things off the ground more easily when playing around. This is one of the reasons why I was so attracted to Linode, the docs, and the support whenever I&amp;#x27;d join their IRC channel. It was good stuff, to get things running even though this is not my field by trade.</text></comment>
