Please do not bait Gary.
His ill humour is well documented and he is easily regarded as the second biggest horse’s a$$ on the Cow*. He has been the subject of complaints to both forum hosts and Cow leaders in the past for his rude and condescending posts. Cow members do talk to each other away from here.
His advice is at times okay and his work is solid enough; not great, but certainly adequate for mid corporate level work so the cause of his foul personality is unknown. Some people are just nasty for no reason. Sometimes people are simply jerks.
Ignore him. Doing otherwise will get you nowhere.
*The #1 Official Horse’s Rear on the Cow is obviously Bob Zelin which will come as a surprise to no one. However Bob is a curmudgeon who prides himself on his biting personality and always follows it with legitimate and genuinely helpful advice; he actually cares and has a good heart.
**Obviously this post will be deleted by the hosts, but fortunately the email pushes will get it through to subscribers in this forum.
