You make it sound as if he doesn't relish the convo. Uninformed lookie-loos such as xenodasein do fly-by's all the time, and the usual suspects from this list take the bait. And why wouldn't they? It's much easier and more gratifying putting these unheralded know-it-all's in their place, than writing code and fixing bugs. I wonder if our maintainer wears a toga. He's really nailed down the Hippocratic Oath of "first, do no harm" (the corollary of which is "don't move fast and don't break things"), and his Socratic approach to answering questions by asking five more is masterful.
