I haven't heard that he has been doing anything else the last 18-19 year or so.
Yeah, he does some Synth-DIY stuff on the spare time, like any good guy around
here... ;O)

Larry's description of how to turn of east US by a freak event (which I
triggered him to describe) still lies fresh in my memory. He *does* know what
he is doing. Dig in the archives for it, it is really a good read and you are
happy you are not the guy which ass gets hot when stuff like that happends.

The two things I really don't stand is ignorance and arrogance. This guy seems
to spending time on both accounts. Too bad for him.

I am pretty sure that this is true. But then again, I haven't checked HIM out,
so I could be doing the same mistake as we claim him of doing. That would be
a big mistake to make, since then the arguments one is trying to make is broken
and we got a fine little flamewar going, something we could spare both lists.

Cheers,
Magnus
