If he's ignored, it's because people insist on calling him pterry.
Anyway, ignored by whom? Not this thread, to be sure.
He left AFP for the right reason: too much garbage and nonsense floating
around for it to be worth his while. And rightly so, when one considers that
such sub-standard books as The Last Continent and Interesting Times--obvious
appeals to his established fan base at the expense of quality--came about
during his tenure on that NG. I'm checking DejaNews for a more specific
reference; he's too discrete to say it outright, but I know I read it somewhere
from him.
Dave!
