I hope SPUI will be back; he doesn't play well with others, but he is
a fountain of knowledge about what he's interested in.  I also don't
particularly like the way I've seen people justify dismissing him as a
'troll' and thus unworthy of respect.

Tony - well, I'll be circumspect about that case, but - Tony is not
good at defusing tense situations, and he's  demonstrated that
repeatedly.
