   I asked a psychologist friend about some of these posts, just to act as   
   a ready reckoner.  He finds them interesting.  The Newsgroups are rife   
   with subjects for study.   
      
   Sure some of the stuff Steve Kramer mentioned sounds larger than life,   
   but the actions of the others would have made the situation worse if   
   there was a problem.  If there were a delusion (and there's no reason to   
   think there is), it's not healthy for anyone to encourage it.   
      
   The actions of the others was determined to be very predatory, and if   
   Steve wasn't the target someone else would be, this is backed up when   
   "anyone" spoke up for Steve, they were either branded a derogatory term,   
     and when the arguments were valid they were branded a "sock puppet",   
   to try to lessen the impact of a winning argument.   
      
   There was little in the way of contributions to the listed topic at all,   
   and when there were, the ulterior motive of the obsession would always   
   surface.  This is a disingenuous action and is self destructive for the   
   individual, and served no real purpose.   
      
   Medication for depression was suggested, and maybe an anti-psychotic.   
   The suggestion was Zoloft, and Respidol.
