I know you are right Linda, and I have to agree.
I think I went a little to far by asking if Managers should be affiliates in their own systems, because the actual question should have been:
can you be a good affiliate manager without being an affiliate marketer before?
My opinion is that if you haven't tried it on your own, you haven't built your traffic and conversion, finding niche and all the other stuff, then you are like a preacher without religion. I can't teach and help affiliates do well if I haven't test it on my own.
Which is basically what you said as well
