But everyone is asking the wrong question. The real question is "why in the world do I care?" A good followup is "Why should I waste bandwidth and time posting about this?"

Ignore Justa if you don't like his stuff.

He has never, to my recollection, said to people "you simply have to listen to me or you are dooooooooomed." You don't need to follow him. You don't need to like him. It's the net!

He has a system that works for him, and doesn't work for others. So don't follow.

You can criticize all you like, but ask yourself to what end.

Having been a longtime denizen of the net and these boards, I can say with certainty that it's impossible to save others from following someone they dub a guru. Those who follow blindly will follow blindly regardless of how many warnings they get from us well meaning posters.

I'd also point out that wahz asked for this stuff to end on this board, and Justa at least tried to do just that -- but no one is letting him. Why not start a new board (Justa Conversation, perhaps) and respect wahz's desires?
