I've found Wildepad's posts always on topic and by and large interesting 
and productive of discussion. The one caveat is that it's clear there's 
no point in arguing with him about his assumptions - personally I think 
he'd benefit from being less defensive of same, but eh, we all have our 
quirks. Better to just comment on the modifications one would make and 
why, and let the subthread or new thread run where it will.
