Talk about obsessive. Do you take lessons from skipper?

Not at all. But I've developed mental speculations about some of the folks
in
the NG, usually based on self-described attitudes and activities.

NOYB's story about preaching his politics to patients that were unable to
talk
back, and his comment that he didn't want any "liberal" patients, was a
part of
my mental image of the guy. Why not? He said it himself.

When he posted something that was far more reasonable, and 180 degrees
opposed
to the previous statement, I was surprised enough to double check what I
remembered. Took 5 minutes in Google.
Skipper would have had it committed to memory, line by line.

I suspect that NOYB talks a tougher and more extreme stance than he
sometimes
practices.

Do a google search from last week. I told Harry that I'm just here for
amusement and to "stir the pot" a little. To me, this is nothing more than
bar room bull****. That's what 30, 40, and 50-somethings that have wife and
kids do now. When younger and single, they did it over drinks in a bar.


Many people do

Correct.

In his case, that's a good thing and IMO makes him
more of a reasonable person.

Thanks.


As I said, it was just so opposed to the mental image I had formed from
his
previous statement it was worth checking out.

I even have a mental image of you, Wally.
If you ever do or say anything that challenges the parameters of that
image
I'll be sure to check it out as well. So far, you remain very consistent,
steady, and predictable. Not bad traits, really, especially for one
aspiring to
be conservative.
