Who cares where norm is.? Does he give a **** where you are? The guy used
the NG to get feedback on dvd's that is all. He got paid for it and moved
on. He was only one of many contributors to the NG. He had advantages we
didn't cause he worked in the entertainment business. However, most of what
he spewed could be found elsewhere on the net so..his usefullness to his
employers probably ran it's course.
