Rod Speed is the last great polymath. The most that you and I and the
rest of us mere mortals can hope for is to learn a little about a lot,
or a lot about a little.

You are probably encountering him for the first time as an undesirable
consequence of the OP's crossposting. When you crosspost to
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage you run the risk of introducing Rod
Speed to an unsuspecting audience. It's a bit like bringing your
neighbour's dog poop to your friend's house on the sole of your shoe.

Most of the regulars have kill-filed the troll, but he still tries to
get through by nym shifting. Pathetic, really.
