Had a few good laughs from this thread, but mostly it's useless argueing. I don't think Dryheat is who he says he is. Who, as rich and powerful as he implies he is, would have so much time and interest to post over and over and to be so aggressive and insulting. People who have real wealth, power and influence don't have to play stupid games annoyomously on the net. They don't have to ridicule and beat people up verbally. They get enough satisfaction from their real life not a virtual existence. He's obviously an intelligent person, perhaps well educated. Great language skills. He's having a HAPPPY like ball, baiting people. I think maybe you are all doing him/her a big favor with all the attention. It's a toss up whether it's actually a man or a woman though when you pay attention to his use of words.
Just like HAPPY, if you ignore him, he will go away, think he/she loves the attention, which suggests an isolated and lonely person. That he uses a forum such as this for social contact also suggests he has poorly developed social skill and perhaps inadequate interaction with real live people. He/she may even be disabled in some significant way, preventing him/her from obtaining usual normal social contact and support. He/she seems to have a lot of unstructured time in his/her life, again not a usual circumstance for a successful, wealthy person with a typical social life.
Ya, know, we'll never know !!
