Oh, come on. The article was written by Markoff. I am more inclined to
   take tea leaf readings seriously than Markoff's scribblings.

   Considering that John Draper is one of the most bizzare and annoying
   people I have ever met, I hope he has someone else to do the P.R. work.

   The last time I talked to John (about 1995) he was a burn-out case who
   could barely operate his Mac and was living on the streets. I am
   wondering
   if someone is using him as a figurehead to do business under a well
   known
   name.
