He's supposed to be a writer, FCOL. I'm an occasional writer, too, and look: I've misspelled 'mispelling'-- but I'd catch that before I formatted an article all pretty by running it through a spell checker once or twice. Sloppy. Like his research.

As a consequence, it gets aid to prop it up.

It's hard to take a guy seriously when in a semi-formal publication he repeatedly uses the non-word 'noone'. Doesn't this guy know english?
