Hey, Guys!
Remember my old nemesis, that denizen of the sheep dip, Bubba, the Salty Dog? He's the sinister professor Moriarity of the underweb of failed self-style experts whose web sites have failed and whose pseudonyms constantly change. They remain distinguishable only by their MOs. He's the guy who claimed so much BS about being an expert on the Triangle. He said he had studied it for 20 years and even lived in it for 10 years, and he was able to verify everything Larry Kusche claimed in his book, The Bermuda Triangle Mystery --Solved, but knew nothing in the 30 years since the book was published.
Remember, he's the guy who didn't even know where the Triangle was. He had that ghastly site that reviewed my web site and thought that my sole existence was to attack him, although I didn't know he existed
Well, a few years ago he went into hiding after I finally responded to his BS in Myths and Facts. It is the consensus of opinion here that is has reemerged from his cave and is the author of that comically bad review of my book on amazon.com
I'm posting the review here, so everybody can get a chuckle. It just has to be him. Who else is comatose enough to state: "Just because an event is unexplained does not mean that it is a mystery, just unexplained."
Figure it out! Same thing.
Who else is believed to be goofy enough to assert the bald face rubbish that hundreds of planes have disappeared in the Rocky Mountains except the one who made the 4,000 mile mistake in a geographical/navigational "point of fact"?
Welcome back! It's been years since we've tangled, professor Moriarity.

I guess you can't keep a great story down. Charles Berlitz may be dead but his popularization of the myth of the Bermuda Triangle mystery lives on in Gian J. Quasar's book 'Into the Bermuda Triangle'.
If I only knew there was still a vast market for Bermuda Triangle books among the gullible, I would have written this book myself. It is very well written and sums up nicely many of the stories that have made the Bermuda Triangle mystery so appealing. Charles Berlitz 's seminal book was a best seller in it's time but he wasn't much of a writer. Mr Quasar makes up for it with a well paced and exciting book that reads very well. Of course he makes the same mistakes that Berlitz made; selective facts, misleading data, pseudo-science, and suggestive language.
Unforgivable however is his dissing of the only real attempt to gather and present data, Larry Kusche's 'Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved'. So for those who are really interested in the 'mystery', read Mr. Kusche's book, old that it is, and keep in mind that Mr Kusche labels each story in the so-called mystery as solved, not enough data, or unsolved. And as you ponder this mystery, keep these facts in mind.
1. The Bermuda Triangle (the actual location of which changes from book to book) is the most heavily traveled section of ocean in the world.
2. More aircraft have disappeared over the Rockies than the Bermuda Triangle.
3. Just because an event is unexplained does not mean that it is a mystery, just unexplained.
If you are really in pursuit of the truth, you won't find it here."
