I've replied to your PM but for everyone else...
Don't dust off your black suits so quickly. Alex Smith simply declared that his pseudonym "Revd Dr Jonathan Royale" had been killed off and he was reverting back to his real name... but retaining the "Dr" and "Revd". That was back in April, since then he has resurrected "JR" for a couple of seminars and DVDs!!!
I can't comment on the man himself as I've never met him and don't know him apart from seeing a couple of his DVDs. He does hold himself up with a massive ego, has some views and an attitude which I can easily see being disliked and a marketing approach many into used cars, timeshare or Watchdog would recognise. That said, amid the rubbish and hype he does have some very upfront thoughts and is very willing to share them... for a price.
I consider myself intelligent and worldly wise enough to see him as what he is so sit on the fence unwilling to either defend or attack him. He can do that for himself I'm sure.
