Perhaps there's somebody active in internet or privacy fields that you would accept as a respected authority?
If so, I expect they'd be happy to give him a reference.
Why not start with the advisory boards of Privacy International and 80/20?
And if third-party testament doesn't convince you then, yes, I suggest you have a chat with him.

Ceedee I am not having a go; you and I share a common cause. I am a little facinated by gullibility but there you go. I suppose Privacy Advocate is a bit like Estate Agent - anyone can set up as one and people have confidence in them because of what they appear to be. Incidentally, I mean no sleight to Simon in this, it is the principle of naivete that is interesting. Depending where you look Kursk is a submarine; it is also a battle. It is also both and in my case neither. What to believe eh? Perhaps I need a little more wide-eyed innocence and to be more trusting. Phorm is good for me (I saw that written somewhere too).
