SteveG1, I dont know you, and wouldnt want to presume to tell you what to do, but why would you (or any other thinking member of SDMB) engage the poster you are talking with? It is clear what he is (its been pretty clear since he first joined) and attention is what he craves. I cant see giving him any encouragement, his posts make it apparent he is looking for an arguement, (no matter how assinine) and if no one rises to the bait before long he will surely dissappear… ---
