Not very surprising - he is a guy who made some money in software, and 
he is using that to try to become a guru in photography. You can read 
him running for cover on his site. A site like his is only good for 
confirming your own prejudices, nothing else. Members of this list are 
much more reliable than any magazine/net review...After all they are 
willing to debate the issues ;-) .
