Dave...to be honest I think the poking with a sharp stick and the vinegary posts came from him....yes they were vinegary, but subtly so.....to make everyone think he was just 'joking'.....but the malice(?)(sneering) was there.
I don't know why he posted on here. He obviously felt we were below him...without really knowing too much about us.
Having said that I do think you are right. He needed the oxygen of attention, and had we not responded to any of his posts, they would have died a death....but forums exist by people posting..so what kills him.......is also dangerous for the forum...especially if he has multiple threads going.
