Ed,

The newsgroup badly needs someone who is as articulate as you are.

Keep me on my toes and correct me where ever you think it's
appropriate, as I respect what you have to say based on what you have
already posted. I will certainly take the time to think about whatever
correction, advice, etc. you post.

Was he on a cocaine jag when he wrote that, or is he on a cocaine jag now?

I don't know if drugs are involved. Jon has some emotional problems,
one of which is a bipolar tendency that shows itself in extreme
"enthusiasms." The slightest celebrity or notoriety sends him ga-ga.
Believe it or not, people in metalworking knew I was writing articles
for the major magazines in the field a decade ago, and that was enough
to make Jon swoon.

He seems to be under better control these days, so I assume he's on
medication.
