I totally see what you mean here. Until I met Larry in person and spent some
time with him (he came to SF on business and we had dinner together) I didn't
care much for him either. But after meeting him in person I really like the
guy.
However, you are right about his being a little "rough around the edges" and
tends to post in ways that irk people. I think he's improved over the years,
but it's still an issue sometimes. On the balance, though, I think LUGNET is
better off with him in "power" than not.
