   	I doubt whether Peter is either a moron or a troll.  Rather, as   
   I have previously pointed out, he is playing "Fetch" with anyone who is   
   prepared to play [which I am not, and nor are most other readers here].   
   A troll would perpetrate a somewhat cranky idea and then sit back an   
   watch everyone else argue to and fro without participating further, other   
   than to stoke the fires occasionally.  Peter will reply instantly to   
   anyone who will reply to him.  So, sadly, though less instantly, will   
   several others.  I suspect they are rather lonely attention seekers,   
   but as I am not a psychiatrist this is not a professional opinion.
