	I doubt whether Peter is either a moron or a troll.  Rather, as
I have previously pointed out, he is playing "Fetch" with anyone who is
prepared to play [which I am not, and nor are most other readers here].
A troll would perpetrate a somewhat cranky idea and then sit back an
watch everyone else argue to and fro without participating further, other
than to stoke the fires occasionally.  Peter will reply instantly to
anyone who will reply to him.  So, sadly, though less instantly, will
several others.  I suspect they are rather lonely attention seekers,
but as I am not a psychiatrist this is not a professional opinion.
