Advice is wasted. It's all about attention , any attention . Negative attention is still attention and he puts out enough feedback to keep it rolling. If everyone completely ignored him it would be slug bait to him and he would dry up a float away to another site for his attention fix. If I was a to lay a bet I would bet that he does this on multiple sites in multiple disciplines.

I know a lady that knew his dad and she said he was everything and more Hook claims he was , great guy her last name is Hawk I am sure hook knows her. My guess is that it was tough growing up in his shadow and instead of going out and doing all the real stuff his dad did to earn peoples respect and adoration hook has coopted his dad's success and cannot figure out why no one gives him the props his dad got.
