AICN Talkbacks are just about worthless. The crude forum format doesn't help matters.
There are a lot of testosterone-ridden, illiterate fanboys over there.
I visit AICN fairly regularly but I usually skip the Talkbacks now. Harry may be overhyped and sometimes disgusting but he does have some good networks of sources out there. And he has Moriarty.
Harry is an enigma. He is an interesting personality to have the access to the big sources, and yet have no polish whatsoever! I will never figure that out! One of life's mysteries.
