My mind is going in many directions on that. What pray tell were you thinking?

Sounds like he loves to talk and Express himself and hes found a job where he can literally force people to sit down and listen to him prattle on about the things in life He finds to be interesting.
It sucks because the guy is probably really good and knowledgeable and if you spent all day with him, ON the job, youd probably learn a lot... But a couple hours in a classroom is a different story. Hes gotta learn to compress that knowledge into bite size pieces.
I have a problem with it too. Even here at ATS I type such long posts, and as I suspect it is for the instructor you mentioned, I think most of what I type is for me and my own amusement.

In one of my university classes, the professor would come in, sit at his desk silently, and literally not teach anything. We would all sit there and just do the homework and leave. One day a student asked the professor a question about how to do the one part of the homework, so the professor came over and sat with the student and tried to figure it out - except he couldn't, because he didn't know how. Another student ended up having to help the first one.
