It would be fascinating to watch a documentary of Jack and his disciples. Part genius, part deranged lunatic.

I believe, probably most of those followers who are able to Read and Comprehend JH's materials must be genius, as you said!

Obituary for Jack listed Hershey, John, 81, consultant, but consultant for who? for 'the man'? But Jack was more of 'stick it to the man' type. So this is just my speculation but I think he consulted for the same no-name outfit that maybe Spyder is working with. Based on other ETer who mentioned signing NDA for the duration I think Spyder did the same.

Ah! Where to start? I came across Jack in usernet and I just knew he will be a major contributor for ET. Once he arrived the firework start imm. I have learned so much from him. In following his 'paying it forward' spirit I wrote the VolStop indicator that based entirely on his idea. It was well received it was download more than 10,000 times counting all of its iterative refinements. I do get private testimony on its effectiveness. This indicator helped a vendor to gain the deep understanding in trading with volume as the leading indicator. It revolutionizes her teaching. To this day she uses many of Jack's concepts word for word but never utter his name or I don't follow her closely enough to see whether she did. But it validates his teaching, it is not some Jedi mind tricks that only the chosen one can understand. His teaching will live one in one form or another, of that I have no doubt.

I remember Jack focusing quite a bit on volume, but not on volatility, which is what most volstop indicators are based on. Can you please provide a link for your version of VolStop.

I came up with the name by myself so it may not be the same indicator you have in mind.

15 downloaders are still all here? that was a surprise! I anticipated only 14 left for some reason. But you guys prove me wrong, keep the faith.
