Schildt: Convivial. His place is at a table with great friends, good food,
and the finest
wines. Friendly, gracious, and at ease in any social cicumstance.

Seebs: Asperberger's. Even online he is unable to get along with humans.
Absurdist joke posts to comp.lang.c are met with tedious analysis and
humorless
deconstruction.

Not even that. One of the reasons people in general get along with me
is that I'm actually pretty funny. Often intentionally!
