Damn, I just started a new thread about what an annoyance this guy is - and how peaceful it's been around here since he took his sabbatical. Having said that, I scrolled down and found this thread....
Look, Dave's a nice enough guy (I met him at Miranda's feet at a TERB party in the distant wilds of north Toronto suburbia), but he sure goes off half-cocked most of the time. And he holds the TERB Book of Records for pointless posts, half-assed weak jokes, and his ability to horn in on otherwise intelligent conversations and turn them into rubbish.
Long may his holiday last!
