I have to acknowledge my prodding the bear sometimes.  I really just 
can't resist and I'm not sure why.  Responding to him is of no value and 
I don't think there is even a chance of altering his behavior in any 
meaningful way.  He is just so nuts that sometimes I feel compelled to 
not ignore it.  I will try harder in the future.  It does nothing for 
this group and I don't think there are any novices that can't see Hugh 
for what he is.  At least not once they read his attacks on the world.
