Speaking up because I --ed this one. I hate spam as much as the next guy, but obviously this monk is misguidedly thinking he's not doing something bad. It would have been more productive to correct him as
cjf++ did, rather than simply berating him and adding an unnecessary insult to top it off. Of course he may be putting up a naive facade, but I prefer to err in favour of innocence and if he is indeed manipulating, then simply refusing him an answer about the task at hand is sufficient.
