He is also going to making the sequels, Episodes 7,8,9, starting in 2015, when Harrison Ford will be in his seventies and Mark Hamill will be in his sixties. Geriatric Star Wars!

I agree though that there's something about homeschooling that just does not make sense.

Maybe. I mean, he might have read DW's family page as well as the main site -- there is a link on the gateway page, after all. Supershadow, though? Somebody'd have to be really gullible to believe supershadow.
The last time I looked on his website, a while ago admittedly, he had a fan response section, which would indicate some people are actually gullible enough to believe him. My time on the SW.com BBS also lends credance to this, as I recall at least two newbies a month making threads touting his site as a source of information before being reeducated by the staff (even the very mention of SS's name on that board is officially forbidden.)

However, I am still a fan of the theory that he simply makes up positive feedback for himself and puts it up on his site to feed his ego.

Homeschooling is fine if you can devote the necessary time and attention to it and you are a smart person. I know several homeschooled kids who are extremely bright, and whose parents pulled them out of public school because the school couldn't challenge them. But in these cases, the parents themselves are also highly intelligent and well-educated, and are willing to devote all the time and attention necessary. Having one parent stay at home is essential, which in turn means that the other parent must be hard-working or independently wealthy.

Unfortunately, this combination of attributes is really not that common in society, so an awful lot of homeschoolers are just getting shit education.

Maybe, I was going from memory too. The point is, he pulled the "phase" idea out of thin air.

Indeed, it was all part of the Ro's assignment to inflitrate the Maquis. Using that instance for any sort of quantification or demonstration of repeatible tactics is foolish, as it was entirely a fabrication.

IIRC Picard didn't armor to make the weak spot per se but enlarged it to a point that it possible to exploit it.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I just really wonder why stuff like this STILL shows up from time to time. Well, I guess idiots will never die out. Sad fact. On the other hand it gives us all some material to make fun of the writer. Only with time always the same can become boring.
And even I, who is no native speaker, can write English better than he. Isn't it amazing that the internet seems to be the place where grammar goes to hell?

By the way, Mike, how much of such shit do you recieve in week roughly? (If the number is too low, the number for a month does too)

AOL does this to people. People get into these Rooms where spelling (if indeed this was bad spelling) is not checked. People post as fast as they can; sort of like IMing.

Many people start out on AOL, learn their lesson, and get rid of it.

If this person had better spelling and grammar, as well as references to episodes and such, then I would have thought this pure sarcasm with that Castaway reference.

A few years ago, a post like that would be chalked up as just another 'AOLer'

I've heard actual living people use 'warsh' usually Warshington (the state) they also used Spocane. Heck one of the guys in my HS class had problems reading and writing correctly, and his stuff looked better.
