I take it that you are attributing the quoted material to Andrew Stevens? CHECK YOUR QUOTE! That was not said by Andrew Stevens. This is the second article I've read which appears to slam Mr Stevens about comments HE DID NOT MAKE! If you are going to insult somebody's comments, make sure you get the right person. I apologise beforehand if you are complaining about his comments about those quoted comments; you certainly don't make this clear in your article. pihl richards p.s.
