I still maintain that he was a "troll". As a troll, the guy was...uh...brilliant. If he was serious, well, he couldn't have been serious. I think he was just someone with too much time on his hands, for one thing.
Well, you go ahead thinking that.
I thought he was just a really, really, REALLY stubborn troll, too - or at least a troll who enjoyed what he did. But when I saw his attempts to use the ADA to get rid of widescreen, he convinced me that he was serious. If he was a troll, he would have said something in the DVD/letterbox newsgroups just to incite; but he didn't. He posted them in newsgroups dedicated to the handicapped, where I'm sure he thought that he would get the most receptive audience (particularly since political correctness was just about at its pinnacle at that time) and where he probably thought that widescreen advocates wouldn't dare to tread.
I've seen his messages; I've seen been the recipient of some of his e-mails. You can continue to think that he was a troll if you want, but I'm convinced that he's genuine.
