The only thing I think we have on here that's relevant is a spring
full of crocodile tears.

I can remember someone on here who went 'screaming' to 'the plods'
when someone wrote a letter to a family member; who made a complaint
to a university vice-chancellor because an employee sent an e-mail
three minutes after the end of his working day (and so must have
written it in 'works time'); and who approached someone's head teacher
regarding his appearance on here. Doubtless there were other
incidents. He also referred to people who belonged to a tear-or-wrist
organisation as 'noble'. It seems that what was good enough for him is
not too good for anyone else.

Perhaps his latest sock-puppet is a reference to the time he dropped a
ball by saying that a spring-dashpot system was a mechanical analogue
of a coil-capacitor system, because they both exhibit 'resonance'.

I think I was commenting on the arrogance seemingly displayed by the
choice of name.

Last weekend he appeared on the models.engineering group as "Very
Sharp Tool".

Not in this toolbox!

Despite having thrown off my ball and chain, I retain some old contacts
- I emailed one recently (a guy who has a research interest in
psychopathology) and directed him to this NG with particular reference
to certain topics.

His response was "... interesting"

I don't doubt it! Someone might take up a study of the ng for a PhD
thesis - except that some on here would claim in error that the
Literature Search is plagiarism of other people's work.
