/If/ a wiki article sucks. However, it doesn't. The dude just had an old
version of Synchronet installed that didn't yet support the feature he was
looking for, which was his main issue for everything he tried on said wiki not
working. That's why the wiki sucked in his eyes.

I'm just entirely too sarcastic, usually. That doesn't tend to work when
trying to assist someone in solving a problem.

It's nice to know he's not a robot, though. I haven't seen him give up on many
conversations, but the couple I have witnessed over the years keeps me
grounded in knowing he's still normal and has his breaking points, too. :D

HAH. Usually we know who they are. Every once in awhile we get surprised with
a new case, and it's entertaining for a little bit, at least.

Regards,
Nick
