Which is now also closed down, apparently. Knapp also founded the TM-Free blog for disaffected former TMers and ran it for, I believe, a couple of years. He turned it over to fellow TM critic Mike Doughney probably also around the time he started CHSCA. While he was running TM-Free, Knapp appeared to have Google Alerts, or something similar, set up to let him know about any articles concerning TM that appeared on the Web. He made a habit of commenting on those articles and in one way or another making it known he had a therapy practice for people who had been in cults (at least that was the case in the comments of his that I read; he may not have always done it). I notice that he mentioned his practice in his piece for DailyKos as well. Since I first encountered him--1996, I think, on the Usenet newsgroup alt.meditation.transcendental--he's shown himself to be a skilled and very active self-promoter (not that there's anything wrong with that per se). Carol, you're aware that Knapp posted here sporadically in 2008 and 2009, right? A total of 77 posts. If you're interested in reviewing them, here's the search page from the archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/msearch?AT=knapp&AM=contains&pos=0&cnt=10 http://tinyurl.com/a9lbbto
