I wonder if anyone is still dogging him around the internet...

I don't know if anyone is still dogging him around the internet, but I know he's lost a lot of credibility with C/C+ programmers and some systems engineers. It probably would've been a better idea for him to keep a low profile for another year, instead of trying to scare up material for another book, this one about Doomer financial protection. Michael Hyatt has done somewhat better with his "newly discovered" concerns for privacy -- at least three books to be published with that material! -- and his fans seem to agree.
