Absolutely -- I've noted (and even out loud <wink>) that JSH pisses the most
on people who give his ideas sincere attention. I certainly didn't expect
thanks from him. To the contrary, even though I've done my best not to
encourage him to follow the same old tired script again, his behavior wrt me
so far has almost always been better than I expected to get. It does show
signs of getting worse over time, which I intrepret as evidence that I
really am helping him: win-win <0.9 wink>.
