 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment - he has been sought out by journalists for his opinion. He is based in New York, yet is quoted in newspapers in Baltimore and St Petersburg. He has appeared on national TV.  SilkTork  *YES! 14:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
