Hey John Ryan,

Interesting that you would mention this. I've often thought that if/once this law profession thingie is achieved that he'll get eaten daily with a judicial fork & spoon. No judge will put up with him.

There are certain names/theads I click on occassionally simply for entertainment value -- sort of like perusing a tabloid in grocery check-out line. Poor JVP is one of them. May be a future as court jester for him? :-)

(FWIW, search on 'narcissism'. Are you familiar with how this functions? You'll find that your engagement just enables him.)
