The same cut & pasted crap he's posted for years.

I'd like to know who he is. His IP addresses change from day to day,
and they don't seem to belong to any one particular ISP. For someone
who craves to be seen as an authority, he sure makes it difficult to
verify his credentials, assuming he has any. And based on what has
transpired in a current thread at aus.electronics, it is clear to me
that he has not even a basic understanding of electrical fundamentals.
For example, he dismisses the distinction between volts, amps, watts,
and joules as "semantics". And he has absolutely no idea how a simple
MOV works.

My guess is that he was once quite sharp but is rather impaired now.

Some of his comments are very good. The comments you refer to on
aus.electronics were amazingly (and I think uncharacteristically) bad.
He sometimes totally misunderstands what people say (in addition to
making things up). He has a fetish for tower antennas - ham? worked in
broadcast?

He uses google-groups to search - favorites are surge, lightning and
power supply. Always certain, sometimes right.

hey - this is the usenet):
