What's the story with Avcanada and Culhane?
Whenever anyone mentions the word "Culhane" on Avcanada it gets replaced with *******. What's the story behind that - anyone know? He's the author of a good albeit somewhat overpriced set of study books for the canadian exams (particularly overpriced considering much of the content is taken directly from Transport Canada's free publications).
He's also a lawyer which got me curious - I googled his name and the second hit was a detailed story of how he went to great lengths to put his competition out of business through the court system - he clearly doesn't like a competitive marketplace.
I've always found his books quite well written, although the question-and-answer books contained a lot of errors - not good when you're trying to learn something.
I'm just puzzled why avcanada won't even allow his name to be mentioned. Any clues?

Another odd quirk is that Avcanada will not permit some names to be mentioned even in a positive light. I used Culhane’s book back in the last century for the ATPL exams. It was all I used and more than sufficient. I am a satisfied customer of Mr. Culhane.

If I remember correctly, the complete censoring of the name was at the request of the person in question.
I will leave it as am exercise for the reader to figure out why someone with such a satisfied customer base would request that no comments be made by them about his stellar and eminently correct products in a public forum.
