I think that only makes your comments even more valuable. If even after 
some years of (mostly passive, but still) exposure to POV some things 
are illogical then there is definitely room for improvement in POV4.

Thorsten can be very helpful. You just have to know that if he doesn't 
want to, he absolutely will make that clear. He is even known to swear 
sometimes when he feels misunderstood. Sometimes his behaviour suggests 
that he is a acting out a personal vendetta against some (mostly) 
innocent person. Again, he isn't, but you have to be a regular to know that.
