I think in all cases, a  man's character is revealed in small segments, as his reaction to various things can be  judged. That's so in the physical world as well as the virtual world online.   Given enough time, the reality will always show  through eventually.

And I'd agree. I  am firmly convinced  after  some years of distant  observation, that Pokey is one of nature's true gentlemen, and I would be  absolutely astounded to find that view to be in error.

Don't mean to embarrass you, Don.    You've earned the title of "Good Guy" and I'm happy to stand to  acknowledge that.
