   Last time around you wanted me to come to a conclusion   
   about him based on a single quote, and now you want me   
   to read his books.   
      
   Do you have convincing motivation for my doing so, because   
   your saying I should isn't compelling.

   Why are you asking me? By your own admission I'm just   
   an ego with delusions of USENET instructor-hood. Maybe   
   find who/what you consider a valid instructor/teaching,   
   and get busy with that.   
      
   I mean, my ego is flattered that you find my posts so   
   irresistible. But surely you've *something* better to do,   
   e.g. sharing teachings that have worked for you?   
      
   Or is critiquing others' USENET posts your "path"? If so,   
   how does that work?
