Hi Joe
Yep, anyone who has an interest professional or amateur (like me) in Mars tends to study up on the fringe, if for no other reason than self defence

.
"Skipper" is a puzzle. On one hand he knows the image archive very well and has brought my attention to many wonderful images I would not otherwise have seen. On the other he thinks he sees things that are clearly impossible - like fires (and on inspection are obviously not) - that there seems to be an almost complete disconnect between what is in his head and what is known about Mars. Then there is constrant allegations of cover up. Not only is this contrary to evidence it is completely unreasonable. There is no real difference in methods between Hoagland and "Skipper" except the details that "Skipper" seems to know his way round the images better and does not seem to be in it for the notoriety and the money.
