Having conversed with him via e-mail on several occasions, he doesn't have a clue (and spreads misinformation). Problem is, he does it so convincingly it's simple for neophites to believe him. I only started one of his books, one that was recommended by someone who should know better, and I only got part way through before I threw is out. Full of BS and misinformation. Better if he wasn't still hanging around. Ciao, David A.
