Seems like a great guy with so much awesome advice that he's regularly featured on <a href="http://lifehacker.com/search/pavlina/" rel="nofollow">lifehacker</a>. Then you look into him a little deeper and, <a href="http://edificial.blogspot.com/2006/08/church-of-steve-pavlina.html" rel="nofollow">oh my</a>, what's going on here or with Ferraro is <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/01/18/steve-pavlina-reveals-blog-earnings-for-2005/" rel="nofollow">small potatoes</a>. The method is the same: say something is happening that is not and cash in on people's ability to discern the truth for themselves. However, the scale is much greater, and Pavlina's cunning enough to pull it off in such a way that it's indistinguishable from <i>he's trying to help</i>. A couple days ago, I came across the works of a Steve Pavlina. Seems like a great guy with so much awesome advice that he’s regularly featured on lifehacker.

Then you look into him a little deeper and, oh my, what’s going on here or with Ferraro is small potatoes.

You can print whatever you want, there's no Accuracy Authority to fine you if you print wrong things. Perhaps there could be a lawsuit, but only the named "Anna Morgan" would have any sort of standing. Fined by whom?

Especially press releases.
