Last I knew...

Robert Cringley was a self promoting huckster and flake.

Actually, I rather like his "I, Cringley" column. That he was a flake
in his plane building adventure, is, I think, without dispute. Can't
argue with "self promoting" either; you're dead on there. I don't,
though, think he's a huckster.

huck·stered, huck·ster·ing, huck·sters

1. To sell; peddle.
2. To promote or attempt to sell (a commercial product, for
example) in an overaggressive or showy manner.

Zoom would probably give him three thumbs up...
if Robert was a paying advertiser in AeroSnooze.
Yeah, that seems to be the magic to achieving an endorsement, doesn't
it. But let me say this: Cringley is a much, much better journalist
than other unmentionables shall ever be. He opens his columns up for
debate, he offers corrections, and freely admits it when the readers
call him a boob. That doesn't make him great, and it doesn't guarantee
he's honest, but it greatly increases the likelihood. And it's not the
sort of behaviour you're likely to see out of his eminence anytime soon.

I've wondered who's Cringley's core audience was.
Now I know. g
