We all know what 'wisdom' JVP has spread here in technical, visionary and social aspects. I hope he will do better as a laywer. Let's see...John was a well-respected author and speaker, made a # of contributions to the Fox community, and has been in demand for years as a consultant. I know people who credit John for the "wake-up" call that it might serve them well to learn other technologies.
He did very well in this industry, and very likely will do just as well as a lawyer.
