Sandor Berger: Telegraph poles talk for Sandor the loner, The Sydney Morning Herald, 14 November, 1989. This is his response.

Sandor Berger was one of Sydney's most fascinating eccentrics. For years he left posters and placards across town declaring "Psychiatry is Evil"; or stood by roadsides displaying his message. As he grew older the spread of the posters shrank to the block around the boarding house where he lived. What made him most fascinating was that he lodged a number of vividly written, unpublished books with the State Library. He had a peculiar, highly pressurised type of consciousness, where he could hear things hundreds of metres away. I came across the story because I used to visit someone who lived upstairs in the same boarding house, Jeff Wegener, former drummer for The Saints.
