To be honest I looked at some of his creations after reading a page of the thread & thought "hmm a plumber on acid"

Its only those who are intentionaly annoying that I'd wish gone, but I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of knowing it.

I don't feel that to be the case here.

I try not to feed trolls, its easier for me to put someone on ignore.

Do not limit yourself to what others think is reasonable or possible.

2 pages i'm done. Although I don't understand why it would make people mad. if you don't like it don't play, maybe he's a lonely guy with nothing but time (LOL).
Sometimes we just let things die and disappear no worries . Time for some solder fumes. Peace be with you.

It's ok to be Curious, but it also does not hurt for him to read a book or two... I think the other members have already bent over backwards to accomodate his way of "thinking", 20 pages is enough, no?

His purpose here is abundantly clear- exploiting the knowledge base of the forum for personal gain. People are often very willing to pass along their knowledge of a subject that they are passionate about, and taking advantage of that behavior is a concept that he understands very well.

I’m not suggesting that he is dangerous, but see if you don’t find some marked similarities between the methods he is using to get what he wants and those described here, the essence of which is in traits 1-8: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/spy ... lt-leaders

Thank you Martin I don't think a lot of people are getting the full jest of what's going. So he wants to take the water analogy way past anything reasonable. Big deal . no he wants info for his books and kits. The n coming on here and acting like he doesn't understand anything to get people explain his ridiculous analogy further. Acting like he doesn't understand yet smarter than everyone at the same time.
I guess I still haven't got passed the anger stage

Somehow I added a period at the end that didn't belong. Fixed now.

Quite a few votes have been cast and it's very clear that neither he nor his thread are wanted here. That thread should have been eliminated by now. What's the holdup?
