   I don't plonk him trivially ... he DOES know a lot of
   good stuff. It's his hostile personality, his penchant
   for pointless and destructive ad-hom attacks. Just too
   much work to deal with. It's also more appropriate for
   the more social/political groups, not a tech/helpMe
   sort of group.

   Anyone who's subscribed to this group is NOT an idiot,
   but into complex and often under-documented issues
   requiring both big and small-picture answers. Faced
   with MS/Apple I think most of us would LIKE to help
   these questioners along the (right) path.

   Maybe in a year I'll un-plonk him and see if there's
   any change in his approach.
