Ooooh, I like color coding.
In that I have only read like 1/4 (perhaps less) of the thread and I'm already jumping to conclusions.
He likes to avoid directly answering questions, and when he is forced to, he likes to use terms that can avoid any type of directness to it. Por example, he answered his thoughts on "Gord" with simply "abrasive", while this could be leading to something, it's simply a one word adjective, and never really leads us anywhere. Later he justified his lack of reads with the fact that d1 was still new in fruition, but everyone else was already throwing some pretty big reads around.
In terms of what I can ascertain from this, I suppose he's just playing carefully, which could mean quite a few things. Careful scum, careful town. My gut says the former, 'cause he seems to be experienced enough to not fall back on the latter.
I know! It's a terrible habit I need to break. :<
