I never thought of John a major commentator here mainly because he never posted on the forum much.

John never had much influence on me. The content of the article isn't anything I didn't already know about. I can only speak for myself, though.

Cynthia,

I agree with you, and while I don't doubt that John's testimony has helped ex-premies, it should be remembered that his articles added little to what we already knew. His Good Weekend article for instance was based on the testimonies of contributors to EPO, although like the good journalist he is, he checked the sources. I have lost count of the times I have pointed out that that John has contributed only six articles for ex-premie.org from over 750 English language pages.
