Hey Lotek, Why'd you even bother to write to the guy? (I suppose I, too, might be tempted to see what he might say.)
Like Wabbit, I am guessing that it was just a ploy to see whether he could get everyone insensed.
Perhaps the guy has some latent psychological issues related to his childhood in which he never learned how to ride a bike and was the fattest kid in his class. Should we pity him?
Na ya, idiots abound.
Cheers,
Jamie
