I'll agree with that. When I posted my article on one way to do
shared libraries right, his e-mail response was as full of
non-facts, irrelevancies, rudeness, and non sequiturs as his
public postings. Moreoever, he totally missed the one point I did
neglect to cover in my posting.

I also refuse to deal with this person; I have better things to
do than to deal with the arrogantly dogmatic and willfully blind.

We can't get rid of him; we *can* ignore him, flame him, or laugh
at him, until he gets the message that we don't need or want his 
nonsense.
