Walter's annoying habits

It's time to make a list of Walter's habits that continually annoy us. 
Here are some of my peeves, to start it off:


1. Dodging issues, including important ones such as

http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.bugs&article_id=9360
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=41553

(Why is webnews showing only two messages from this in the thread view, 
even when viewing the message?)

2. Denying responsibility for his
own slip-ups.  For example, marking what's left of

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=327

INVALID despite this being due to an obvious mistake he made while 
updating the spec, as well as violating the design of D.  No doubt there 
are other instances, but I can't seem to think of them at the moment.


3. Otherwise hitting the INVALID 'button' without properly analysing 
things, meaning that it becomes necessary to reopen.


4. Implementing his own ideas but keeping even constructive criticism - 
let alone implementation - of other people's ideas to a minimum.


5. Implementing new features when he should be concentrating on getting 
things working properly.


6. Postponing indefinitely, for no apparent reason, folding in fixes 
people have gone to all the trouble to write.


7. Not using a spellchecker.


8. Apparently never learning from the spelling corrections we keep 
giving him.

(Please forgive me if you _have_ since heeded the advice in
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=631
)


More contributions to this list would be more than welcome!

Stewart.
