I form the opinion that posters of Mr. Listers ilk tend not to have too many
face-to-face conversations in their lives. That perhaps explains his
conversational ineptitude, either that or he's typing out some alter ego
fantasy where he is the all knowing one and everyone who disagrees is a
loon. There is always the possibility that he really is just an obnoxious
little turd in real life of course.
