As he holds these 'real life' get together in London, it would be better for someone to go along and take him down a peg or two or three, just by pointing out what he is and gets up to there to his audience of Wikipinnies... but as I say, since he seems to be just a weirdo, not worth any analysis. WP itself contains mysteries - he's not part of it...

The only mystery is how he, of all people, managed to get the 'press officer' position. huh.gif I mean, really!


No, LL, really that bit makes sense - they need a fall guy... a harmless duffer up front... trouble is, he's so full of hmself he's become a 'duffer-up' at the front!

In last year's "BADSITES wars", he took a position against the sorts of flat link bans the likes of SlimVirgin, ElinorD, and MONGO were fervently advocating, so I've never shared the hatred of him some WR regulars have.

He just seems like an odd choice for a sort of public face for Wikipedia.
