The Chess Cafe Archives are revealing:

There's a fair dose of his past writings there. I must say I've never been
impressed by them and they show up badly against those of most of the other
authors there; I find there's a lot of word-spinning and, in the end, relatively
little content. (Possibly because he writes a great deal; rather like many
prolific composers, quality is diluted by quantity).
