He doesn't need encouragement.

Incompetent he's not. My interest in Richard is to understand how
someone can be so certain that his worldview is correct, even if
it makes him say things like:
:: I'd actually welcome rule of the strongest. You know why? Because
:: that would mean rule of the /mob/. And that's far better than what
:: we currently have.
which is so obviously false (as a youngster, I lived through
an episode of mob rule in the Republic of Congo, and even though
I was only 11 then, and it felt at moments like living a Western,
I've no desire to see further looting, murdering and raping).

It sure seems to support my idea that evil people think of themselves as
morally superior, and benefactors of mankind. (You may consider this
as the summoning of the untalented Austrian aquarel artist :-)

Apologies. My reader did warn me about comp.arch - I should have
trimmed it.

You're more than welcome. Sorry to have wasted your time.
