Oh, you're right. It's frustrating when they're halfway bright but have almost no insight. Or perhaps it really is a pure troll. I guess it's hard to turn off mentor mode after one reaches a certain age...but he'll find out for himself. Tough to see the same stupid mistakes over and over, but I guiess that's how the system works.

Thanks Bob.
