You're not going to get Mladen to cool down - he flies off the handle quite
easily. I'm not going to waste my time trying to track down his physical age,
but his temper tantrums put him mentally at about 5-6. He seems to think that
ANYthing he thinks up must have been totally original and noone else has ever
done it, and if they have, they obviously copied it from him (through some time
warp). <yawn>
