Hear, hear. I have seen the good it's done, and that is good enough for me.

Also. "Fraud" is an inflammatory word, Alex; any number of disclaimers will not disguise the fact that you jumped into a discussion with a large number of AA members, expressing your disdain for their choice of recovery. Surely, you may be enjoying the discussion-- but when you use that kind of inflammatory language you come off as petulant and, yes, trollish. If you hadn't wondered that yourself, you wouldn't have used the word first.
