Just a man, stewarding his reputation.

But seriously, trust in PD's search engine.  It was...an interesting episode.

As far as group projects crashing and burning from the very start are concerned, you can't do much better than what happened there.

Somebody (on FB) was talking about meeting him at Esozone 08. I asked if they were talking about "Call me Dr" Ben Mack, genuine shithead & author of Poker Without Cards?

Ben appeared and asked why I thought he was a shithead. I mentioned that we'd had an "encounter" on a Discordian forum many years ago. (and left it at that)

But now, because I've responded to him, FB thinks I want to see more of his posts. So now I can see that when people post links to a book or author, he replies and says "I prefer this take", and links to the amazon page of something he wrote under a pen name.

sneaky little self-marketer  :roflcake:


I just posted this thread 'cause I assumed he'd probably sniff around here after I referenced it. Hi Ben Mack! :wave:
