No but he claimed to get a pile of hate mail over his "hands on" review of the Pentax *ist-D or maybe it was the Ds, I can't remember which and can't be bothered to read his reviews section to find out.. Anyway he doesn't seem to respond to criticism well. He doesn't seem to understand what a hands on review is, that you actually have to handle the equipment, not critique the marketing materials. I've seen him quoted as an authoritative source on other forums which ticks me off no end. The guy is total a hack, (now I may be a hack but I don't pretend not to be, and I certainly don't have a website with a paypal donation setup to share dubious my expertise).
