I'd take that down a notch or two to "somewhat influential". The "very" might have been apt a year or two ago, but he hasn't really done much of use to the community in the last year, and memories are short on the internet.

Anyway, I can tell you from experience that he isn't likely to even listen to you. -- T.E.D. http://www.telepath.com/~dennison/Ted/TED.html Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
