Which science fiction writer once said that a sci-fi fan once came up to
him at a convention and told [the writer] that '90% of sci-fi is crap' -

'Yes indeed - but 90% of *everything* is crap.'

This wouldn't be the same sci-fi writer that, tongue in cheek, also invented his own religion, would it?
Tongue-in-cheek? No, I'd venture he was deadly serious because he had a large bet hanging on his ability to gather in enough disciples and adherants...
That would be L. Ron Hubbard. And, no, I think it was not he... Furthermore, L.Ron wasn't much of a SciFi writer, either!
