If I'm totally honest the forum is a bit boring without him... Yes he is slightly crazy, maybe more than that, and totally neurotic but I always tuned in to hear what he was going to say/do next. I also wondered if he had the most understanding wife in the world?! If my spending was like that guy I'd be living in my car. It's not that he spent a ton but that he bought the same things over and over again basically already knowing the results. On the brightside maybe he's spending more time with his son now that he's not obsessed with this forum any more. Lastly if you remember he talked about drug abuse as a younster...that stuff can really mess up some people and it may just explain why he is the way he is.
