"Otherwise, I don't understand why Jim visits TLN board (except perhaps, and in addition, to hector us). He is not a leftie and he doesn't like and disagrees with most punters." -It's literary. We're the chosen foil for "Carlucci as hero" in the book of his life. Foil: "...a character who contrasts with the protagonist, in order to better highlight or differentiate certain qualities of the protagonist..." We should be grateful that he has given us the privilege of being the clutz brigade in the background: the foil against which Jim displays and contrasts the sixpack and bulging biceps of his intellectual prowess. Well that's the theory...
