But he's such a sweet pit bull . . . just on him, it doesn't show, much or often.
Actually, though he's given me no small amount of tango sierra,
I've grown very fond of him.
He has a wealth of knowledge. And when he's not dumping it in pointed barbed ways, it's sometimes possible to get a gentle sharing of it.
He's not real thrilled with suffering fools gladly or at all. And in light of that, he may sometimes wonder why he suffers with me at all but anyway--he does on almost plenty of occasions and I'm greatly enriched thereby. He's actually one of the FREEPERS I care most about but I wouldn't want it to get out--especially to him. He might snort or guffaw or spit or something explicative--deleted or otherwise.
His mind is a wonderful thing to relate to and he has more heart than you might think. Besides, he's more helpful around here than a list of others. And, he lives in a fun part of the planet.
I tend to often disagree with him on a number of my hobby research areas. But he's marginally patient with me and even gives thoughtful responses regarding such from time to time.
Anyway--be nice to him--he's a treasured friend of mine.
