[Don't use quotation marks in subject headers. It confuses the reply/edit function. --G.]

I had just re-read "The Honor of Mars" and was googling "Els Thaven" somewhat randomly and stumbled on this:

<SCIS MCRT> "The Templar Case" part One

and some of the details in the contents looked...familiar somehow.

Anyone know who this Gryphon/Wil Pierce is?

Whoever he is, he evidently thinks "alot" is a word. Hmph.

He can't spell "heresy", either. despite having the example available.
Clearly he hasn't copied your style or your grammatical correctness. And may be weak on copy/paste.
