this Mercurial person, is he credible? I’m not around enough to know.

In our exchange, I asked him if there were any colleagues of his on this board that hold him in high esteem. He listed the following whom I assume are somewhat respected in these discussions.

Demothenes, Thracymus, Robes, zinya, monfort, etc...

So my question… Is this Mercurial telling the truth? Do they find him to be honest and well thought out in his posts?
