Yeah me too. And a lot of my stuff is in there. Worrying.

As for Bert, the only real crime is he never differentiated in his writings between creation, recreation and the oral tradition. If he had, none of his works would have come under suspicion, but, Gg, I agree with what you say, the criticism sometimes goes too far. OR, perhaps the crime is in the hands of the recipients of the material who were taking him too literally. It will be interesting to see what Brian Peters comes up with.
