I'm Not who you replied to. I'm willing to trust him more over time (as I would most other people) but he's got to earn it. E.g. Bill Gates managed to do that to a degree. Not that the (sometimes) richest person in the world cares, but he has squandered any up front good will in unforced lie after unforced lie over trivial matters. I've come to the conclusion that he's a particular self centered person (including his interest of the day) with a strong tendency toward pettiness and a severe lack of skill to shrug things of. Since he's still rich and I don't have to deal with him outside the internet we'll both be fine I think.
