Neil,

challenging those who actually know the real
answers to his questions with his misconceptions


As a non-native speaker, I guess I have to relearn the meaning of the
word "to challenge". Then again, nope, looked it up, got it right.
What the guy does is nowhere near "challenging".

I meant "challenging" as in "dueling" or "fighting" with, though not
physically. Strictly perjorative.

He's lecturing on
subjects that he asked the most basic questions about only a few posts
previously. So either he is really too dumb to realize what he is
doing or he is a troll. My bet is on the latter.

The problem that I have with some of his posts is that he makes statements
as matters of fact that are nothing more than complete misinformation. I
think that hurts the newsgroup.
