The main guilty parties being Spencer Hughes and Dudley Harwood. If you require some proof of the bullshit going on just read what Alan Shaw has made up about it on the Harbeth website - no mention at all of Spencer Hughes as though he doesn't exist. WHY because the man is not about facts he is about bullshit marketing and that is what DSJR is trotting out as facts.
