Very cheap shots, but at about the level we have come to expect from
the two P's. So far as I know, Elaine Morgan has not actively promoted
her books on Usenet. I do think it is a great boost for the Usenet to
have the author participating in the discussion.
Plenty of authours are widely discussed, especially in Rec.Arts.Books.
Velikovsky has had a good going over in many forums and has been
thoroughly debunked by many disciplines. The same can't be said
for AAT opponents.
