Yeah, right.  He died, and *then* wrote _Dianetics_ and the dekalogy.

I don't think anybody seriously believes he's dead.  He supposedly
faked his death for tax reasons.  (Having spent some time working for
a lawyer in estate law, I can understand why.  Estates get a good tax
setup.)

There's a filk song called "L. Ron Ron Ron" (to the tune of "Do Run
Run Run") that starts out "He keeps on writing novels though his life
is through"--unfortunately, I seem to have lost the file.

Not that I see anything wrong with these views! No, sir!
I don't even *have* a sock drawer!
