Are you taking over the mantle of the late departed @PeterRS2?

I occasionally share articles that I think may be of interest to forum members and sometimes add my own very brief comments to them. To take over PeterRS's mantle I'd have to be first and foremost terribly needy, write a six-page commentary to every article, create hydras to give me likes to my posts and use the likes as a defence (or downvotes as a weapon) each time I pick a fight with a forum member, which is all the time. I think somebody else may be slowly but surely taking over PeterRS's mantle and ironically it's his arch nemesis. Time will tell.
