If you don't want to check the archives, then just trust me... there
has been a *lot* of substance from George.  Plenty of BS too, but the
volume is so high the S/N ratio itself doesn't tell the whole story.  ;-)
You really out to lurk a little longer before you launch into him and
his admittedly abrasive net-persona.  You *will* learn from him unless
you try very hard not to.

You should also get his "Doing It Right" video and watch it repeatedly.

Nothing personal taken.  FWIW, I've been on the net since '85, have 
been paid for a wide variety of hacking since '83, and was doing it 
for fun a few years before that... got started young.  Of course, 
none of that means squat since the technology turns over so often.  
Like many things, what is really important is to be eager to learn 
and willing to spend the time and energy to do so.
