You are right. If we formed a club of everyone Lydick has called
"stupid", we would have to have the annual meeting in a football
stadium. Too bad he has nothing of his own to contribute. Then we would
have some basis for estimating his intelligence. Guess I will settle for
labeling him ignorant :-)
Actually, since he is posting all his stuff from the workplace,
he is probably just killing time instead of earning his pay. I wonder
how many of these rude, abusive sysops would be on the net at all if
they paid for their accounts and spent their own time on the effort.
