Hard to gauge in this fog, but I pesonally believe that it is/was for real.
Why ?
Shellstockreview.com is highly focused website dedicated to the shells and shells only ( so to speak - boring to the death ... )
and participants in forum are not people willing to waste their
time with writing poetry and SF, but just strict all about facts ... ( after all you can go to the site ,register yourself and check the forum yourself ), so I see no idea why to make any such statements otherwise than in manner to express their own very real frustrations how Dan (mis)handled their requests ...
By the way, there was another website dedicated to shells ( which is now shut down ) and somewhen in start of 2002 ( so I believed )there were some remarks on Mr. Wettrich ( RM with his shell NVNW in 1999 ) and as far as I remember the attitude against his handling of bussines was pretty hostile too ...
In that time it didn't get my attention , but now when we're starting the pieces of puzzle together it might point us to certain conclusions what and who we're dealing with ...
Be as it may be, where is smoke there is fire.
Just my two nickels to the discussion ...
