Now, I hate to do this :), but I feel I do have to stick up for Tom here.
He claims the CyberAngels wish to remain anonymous. By nature of this wish,
they simply cannot underwrite the statement you're asking for. Don't be
unreasonable.

As for academic credentials: You did miss something, yes. Tom has included
information on where he received his multiple (sic) doctorates, when he
received them, and what areas he received them in (DON'T ask. I'm still
sniggering. But that's me, Mr. It-Ain't-Anything-If-It-Ain't-Hard-Science
.. I'm biased :).

So, the real question was and is: Is Tom telling the truth, a horribly
twisted version of the truth, or outright lies? Now there is a way to test
this: Check out the given academic credentials. Contact the people who make
up 1WSW, ask them for _their_ story.

Yes, and which he won't cite to you, because you could go ahead and post
the lot to csa2. I think I've missed something here. If these emails
embarrassed you, why should he be anxious that you'd post them to csa2? Tom
never ceases to amaze me with his ideas :-)

What I find striking is: There are supposedly 1WSW members who have good
things to say about 1WSW and its co-founder. I don't even say that's untrue
... I haven't heard from them one way or another. All I see is Tom ...
Tom's Web Page, Tom's Posting, Tom's Vamps Disks, Tom's Readme To Various
Programs. Where are the comments by all the other 1WSW members? Maybe they
would have something valuable to add to the mix? Surely not all of them can
be cut off from Internet? Heck, many of them have Internet email addresses!

Just another piece in the puzzle. Anyway, this is fun, but already too long
a post. More thoughts as things progress, I shall think.
