I've always been a lecture person. So wondering if this is worth it?

SLUser11: you want to take this one? 😆

If you do a search in this forum for that particular product you'll find many threads about it.

As WS pointed out, Surgisphere is sort of a running joke on SDN. The product itself is very poor, and frequently receives bad reviews by actual residents who are fooled into purchasing it.

The joke is that the author has a history of creating fake accounts, both here on SDN as well as on Amazon, to give fake positive reviews. At one point, he even assumed the identity of a prominent SDNer, and was subsequently called out on it. We then found his personal self-aggrandizing website, which had a very comical "reach for the sky/follow your dreams/knowledge is power" feel, and further unintentional comedy was discovered.

More recently, I believe he has started to remove the "Surgisphere" title from his books because of all the negative feedback on Surgisphere products...

Here's an old thread on the topic, but you can find more by searching "Surgisphere."

Interestingly enough, last night (while reading the old threads), I came across the link to his Wiki page. More unintentional comedy ensued when reading the reasons the page was pulled down (essentially that simply publishing pages and pages about oneself does not equate to being "Notable" which is apparently required to have your own Wiki entry).

Does anyone know why his personal website was taken down? Also, does anyone know if we can access his old (and now defunct) Wikipedia page?
