It seems that whenever you read something you don't understand, you say it it "bollocks" and accuse the writer of ignorance. I am going to assume that you have the ability to look up "erstwhile" yourself and take your blathering as proof of your belligerent benightedness.
An amusing aside, this, from Wackeroo, if nothing else. Perhaps this clown will finally apprise us as to what he thinks "erstwhile" actually means. Anyone think he'll look it up first? :-)
