I suspect that like billwg, larryq, Tim Smith and others, the strains of
postings maltruths for so long take their toll.  They must have to set a
much lower barrier of acceptable behaviour for themselves, merely to
post their daily staple of fud, half-truths and completely disingenuous
diatribes, so I suppose the jump to the kind of behaviour Erik shows
against Roy S (previously against Rex), is not so far for him as it
would be for us.  Oddly, that makes Daeron's behaviour at the time in
question seem even more strange.

"Good health" is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.
