   You called him a "loonie", then said in the next sentence: "But your

   His web site has beliefs very unique to himself. I would not call it   
   mainstream "new age".

   Several months ago, his posts were a lot more difficult to follow. I   
   believe that his medications have been changed. I find him easier to follow   
   now.

   I don't follow you here.

   Agree 100%. Some (Manson) founded cults without setting out to do so.

   If anything, David is pathologically honest. He believes what he says. He   
   is not looking for anyone to join his religion of one.
