My take on Cowing
His web sites are excellent and I visit SpaceRef a couple times a week. NASAWatch I visit less but it is also a great space info resource. So Keith is definitely NOT useless.
I don't understand the reason he has been harsh with you on the Space board but I assume it must be some ongoing thing you two have. Probably based on your different politics. Personally I don't like the guy's politics but I can say the same thing about a couple lifelong friends.
I actually wish Keith would contribute MORE here in the space science forum as long as it's SPACE RELATED info and not nit picking and one sentence pot shots at people.
