Count me in as a Date groupie (although perhaps you have to care about seeing him perform or meeting him to be a groupie?) because he lays things out very, very clearly and dogmatically in a way where it is pretty easy to figure out where the mathematics ends and the religion begins (and recognize that I'm not opposed to religion, but it is where I might have a difference in my own belief system).
