I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of chrisv's mouth either way. 
If he says that he has a family, I don't immediately believe him. If he 
says that he has a job, I don't believe him there either. He has become 
way too comfortable in calling others liars without ever producing any 
kind of evidence to counter the idea that _HE_ is one.
