If there was any uncertainty about where Drew Max/AAU belonged in the heirarchy of things, I think this erases all doubt.
Any self-respecting expert would be screaming from the rooftops if he/she was lumped in with that unsavory lot.
With this and the various web sites and publications that have been cropping up lately, what we are seeing is a
coordinated "marketing" effort by a handful of people to discredit some and rehabilitate others.
It's really reaching "through the looking glass" proportions of unreality.
