> After reading a bit of the archived posts way back in '98 and '99, I've come to the conclusion that Dr. Bob is aloof, in a good way...calm, cool-headed, composed, neutral...almost imperturbable.
... Which can sometimes give you the impression of banging your head against a brick wall...
We love him really :-)
Although... Maybe this is a picky point but you can't 'confirm' a hypothesis - you are better off to 'disconfirm' a hypothesis. So really, you have found disconfirming evidence for the hypothesis that he is malevolent.
So perhaps the appropriate conclusion is that he probably is not malevolent.
