Easy, now.  Of at least one of the two people you are talking about, it
can be said that he is irascible, rude, inconsiderate and egotistical,
as evidenced by many of his postings.  But it must also be acknowledged
that his contribution to this newsgroup--not to mention his contribution
to Unix--is formidable.  Were he to never post again, the loser would be
this noosegroup and its readers, not him.
