I ran into a similar issue recently and just responded the thread, in an eloquent manner, by writing the answer in one line and asking the "holier than thou" individual to keep the responses low on propaganda. I could rant on saying that the multiple references to his/her books denote low self esteem issues and his/her alleged acquired bragging rights shouldn't be pushed down everyone's throat for his own satisfaction... After all, if others were interested on his background they could just google him up. In the end I will say this: It doesn't matter where you're from or what you've done but what you've contributed to the solution. Keep It Simple Stupid or go write more books, it's simple as that!
