"CCU Excellent....By John Bear"

[ham]

Bear is no more responsible for one choosing CPU than Dear Abby is for someone taking her advice.

The other way round, exactly.
It's not like two friends sitting side by side on cess bowls discuss how one had (or had not) enough bowel movements, and the other suggests "hey! My uncle Moe uses coffee enemas when he's not distilling malt liquor...you might want to look into it".
You have Thomas Chip White (owner of degreeinfo ) and his partners posing as medical research center offering medically proven remedies for serious illness.
Some people might believe it's real science there, not some quackery, and confide in such amateurish practices with their health.

John Bear has been tooting his horn for ages to convince everybody how he is a "worldwide authority", not just some tarot reader, carnival show announcer or some popcorn psychologist ( although his tricks of the trade look much like it ).
When gullible buyers spend money on and wear the badge of the school(s) he promotes, they're convinced of doing so under the advice of a "Keynote speaker", "worldwide authority on DE/DL", not a cold caller trying to sell them eighteen bottles of wine for $10.
When eight weeks, months or years later mr. Bear turns against them and exposes them as phoneys and their schools as mills, they realize they got taken for a ride by a slick vendor.
Actually, Bear is much more refined than the keyboard sociopaths he associates with...he's not likely to scream "degree mill" to the top of his lungs, but rather to paraphrase like

"John Bear: Don't even think of applying to Fairfax, unless you are comfortable with a degree whose use would be a criminal offense in New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois, etc." DEC 12, 2004

No news.
