In fact, I received an email from his company telling me I still had two outstanding steps to complete after I aborted answering the skill question (drill bit).
Check out his blog about what other people -- supposedly his fan base -- are saying about this. Unlike his usual style, he is not responding to those frank comments. He is a woodworker and not a marketing prof; i can understand why he did not foresee how it could go wrong.
