I'm sure he is. I'm intrigued as to which thread he thinks he's asking questions in. It seems to me he does nothing but deliver statements of paranoid fiction. I can't think of a single open topic he's broached other than this one.

Wait a minute guys. It's just dawned on me. He's talking about US! In THIS FORUM! Not some other forum that he's asking us for advice about at all! I am more shocked than that time Maximilian thought we were a serious grown up serious tech forum about serious tech. I miss Maxemilian even if I can't remember how to spell it. I think the first is right but I have this idea he's got a different version, could be totally mistaken.
So I guess the answer is that the teetotal (haha, pedant opportunity! he said "tea total". teehee!) vegan etc and so on person would approach them by rambling on vaguely and always be evasive if pressed for details or clarification, by posting more inconsequential rambling. Because that's what happens. But there would be ways to have it all better.
I was rather pleased about the reference to 'fucking ignorant Yorkshire mentality' as I feel that it was intended to embrace me (among other notable fucking ignorant Yorkshire mentals).
I am certainly going to make sure that I make frequent references to the inconsequentiality of Hamsters in my future posts.
If we take his post at face value, the obvious sympathetic advice is to suggest that he abandons the loons to their nutritional failings and substance abuse, and seeks out a forum where the members believe that the body is a temple and that the omnipotent they are stirring the oceans with their magic teaspoons.

As a fellow Yorkshireman I feel somewhat special that he's stuck us all together in that branding, it as though he sees Yorkshire as the kingpin of all counties. (nod)

I'm not sure we're at all 'ladsy' about /anything/. The way I understand the term would describe the layabouts extolling the virtues of going on the piss every opportunity and shagging everything that moves while bleating on about the latest episode of The Only Way is Essex. While it's probable that we could include your good self and Mr. B in there, I certainly don't subscribe to it. :-{)
Whilst you should be flattered to be lumped in with Yorkshire, i'm not all that keen on having everyone lumped in with us. We're not all that fond of outsiders.
MrTrentIf Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.
