I use "Ask Dr. Internet" in my workshops as a reason to look at WWW
sites with a bit of skepticism and doubt. I have used the case of his
failure to substantiate his statements (Dr. Hart) with primary sources
of information as why internet users need to be extra carefulwhen
finding credible sources. If only he would stick to producing text
files that no one has any use for.
