Namaeson, I would say it was a troll. Guest starts it, keeps interest for a while, returning to try to stir thing up a little and then when the posts start flooding in, sits back and I guess congratualtes his/herself on starting up another time wasting excercise...

I know I have added to the posts here (and I don't always practice what I preach) but really the only way to deal with trollers is to starve them of the attention they crave and the delight they get at seeing the thread perpetuated.

While I'm here, I will pass comment on the subject though: I am quite convinced that Rick would be the first person to say that he is not God or ask to be treated as one. From what I have read of his posts, I believe he is a truely decent person and from what little I have heard of him, I believe him to be an incredibly tallented musician.
