No, it would be too easy for someone to check up on him. However, an independently written bio might include some facts he has chosen to leave out; and it might or might not characterize him as "nationally renowned." When someone has written their own bio, it's potentially misleading not to indicate this when you quote it. > I don't.

I think if he had decided somebody or something he was investigating were Bad, he would be just as uninhibited about loading his case unfairly and misleadingly as he is about doing so with New Age-type stuff. > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Stanley" > > <j_alexander_stanley@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> > > wrote: > > > > [snip] > > > > > Andrew Skolnick--with whom I had many disputes when > > > > > he was posting to alt.meditation.transcendental--is > > > > > one of the sleaziest people I've ever encountered.
