Michael Kravit, responding to Dickbo, asked

I think I can help here. 'Prattish' is probably coined from 'prat' -- "In
British English, if you describe someone as a prat, you are saying in an unkind
way that you think that they are very stupid or foolish; an informal word."
[Collins Cobuild English Dictionary, 1995]

To use an older idiom, Dickbo is the pot calling the kettle black.

As to Favron, I think he means Foveon.

This Dickbo character reminds me of the Dicky (Richard Corbett) who used to hang
around the filmscanners mailing list. Did they both go to the same English
finishing school?
