Just to make it clear, the interpolation "[Pentode? Are you quite sure? - Ed.] Absolutely." appears in the text of the article itself, not the discussion page. I don't see where he calls it a "literary device," [...]
He said that on [[User talk:Romanski]].
Later, on my user talk page ([[User talk:Timwi]]), he said "I don't really care what you think. [...] The Wikipedia moderators are happy with it."
On [[User talk:N-true]], he said "I don't give a twopenny toss what you think. [...] Editing the literary style is plain unnaceptable and downright rude. I was writting technical books and documents long before you were in nappies (diapers if you're a yank)."
