Brian,
I predict that John Marlow will piss off each person here at one
time or another. He's good at that, whether his is a conscious or
unconscious effort.
While I agree his posting style is extremely annoying, I suggest not
taking him too seriously. Imagine him as your caustic, curmudgeonly,
grandfather from some old-school (not sure what). In the right mind
state, one can learn something important from anyone, so try that. He
likes Calvin-and-Hobbes, so you can humor him with that, if you get
angry and need to blow off steam. I've already decided that if he
were at a scientific press conference where I was presenting
scientific results, I would probably try to slip a whoopie cushion
underneath his seat.
