While you may find his persona annoying, others appreciate that he actually does take the time to help and share what's worked for him.

Get past his persona and he's an interesting person to talk to.
I'm right there with ya, Robin. When I first started reading his posts I thought he was gonna be a handful. I honestly think that he does pass good info and actually takes an interest in issues that people are having here, especially new keepers. I met him briefly at Hamburg, but his greatness was too blinding so it's all kind of a blur. I do however remember that he had some great animals.
He's also extremely humble which I can appreciate
