An absolutely massive ego and has narcissism down pat.

Sure he is bright but he has no people skills and I would guess that it is just not here but out in the wild too. I cannot ignore him...I admit I have a weakness for his rants. Endlessly amusing to watch him carry on the same exact way each time.

Chase,

Agree, agree, agree. Plus, you just made a very enlightening comment I had thought about as well, but hadn't shared yet. You mentioned a possible lack of people skills, which can often go along with others factors, like sitting in an office all day just running numbers and never really interacting with anyone to ever be able to develop such people skills. Isn't it often true that people will tend to gravitate towards work and professions that most often mirror, or at least coincide with a large part of, their personalities? Assuming so, maybe he just needs to get out more. The next Net54 dinner/get together at the upcoming National would be perfect, don't you think?

If he's as good at building predictive models as he says, I'd rather take him to Vegas.

LOL

I don't know if he can work them up fast enough for each hand of blackjack, roll of the dice, or spin of the roullette wheel though. Plus, he'll probably want you to pay him up front, win or lose.

As others have pointed out previously, there's a reason my nickname is "Rainman". I was a math savant as a kid, and I'm autistic. Perhaps ironically, I also spent the first half of my adult life as a professional "gambler" before joining the corporate world.

Bob I think he should be a guest speaker. He can berate, mock and chastise everyone in attendance. His message really gets lost because of his method of delivery. Not sure what happened on Blowout but shortly after arriving here he made it clear he was only here to mix it up. One thing is absolute and that is he is great for page views. Not a single thread he has posted on has been boring.

That's it. He must have been hired to increase posts and site hits. That's brilliant!
