I don't think he craves attention. He just likes creative outlets that don't stifle him. RM used to be that place, but is no longer.

Re: Is it me or does Alex really crave attention
I figured he was some old RM dude who just broke up with his missus and suddenly had a bad attitude and all this free time to post his shit. Not sure RM is now whatever it once was to him, but as I always say "this too shall pass".

Re: Is it me or does Alex really crave attention
Early Dev had a mean streak, but was also intentionally both engaging and hilarious.
Later Dev was often too gloomy and irritated, to live up to his earlier heights. Hopefully he’s now happier outside of RM.
But current day Alex, reminds me a bit of Balki when he returned. He’s just on fire, for better or worse.

I agree with you, Anders. The quality of Alex's posts is not worth the pain they cause
