Dear Sum4All et al,

You seem to be intimating that IAMSUDBURY 9/18/09 21:05 and IAMSUDBURY 9/19/09 10:58 are in fact two separate entities. Let us delve into the possibilities...

Either you are correct, in which case either:

A) two separate individuals are utilizing the same computer terminal and/or Agoracom password, or

B) the more sinister possibility that someone has chosen, for nefarious purposes, to assume the persona of one IAMSUDBURY

, or you are incorrect, and in fact what you surmise to be distinct differences in language style and syntax, merely represents a natural physiological fluctuation of IAMSUBURY's cerebral functioning (perhaps artificially skewed by the after-effects of ethanol). I myself seem to have a diurnal variation of my creativity and language skills, both naturally, and when suffering from a hangover, so I believe this to be a valid supposition).

What I could gather from IAMSUDBURY's posts:

1) Either he is very right-brain hemisphere dominant, which would be advantageous in his self-professed profession as a financial analyst, or he is not a native english speaker.

2) He possibly is an imbiber of beer, as represented by his Moniker of IAMSUDBURY, which is, you must agree, strongly reminiscent of the formerly oft-played televison commercials with the thematic "IAMCANADIAN" (do these still play on Canadian T.V.?).

3) Hailing from Sudbury, there is a strong possibility (by simple demographic statistical probability) that he is of French-Canadian ancestry. This of course would be OK. We take all comers on this forum. (as an aside, my wife is Quebequois).

Let us now analyse the two posts in question. (I freely admit that I have absolutely no background in Language Syntax analysis...I am making this up as I go...) If this was cursive, our analysis would likely be much simpler, but alas we are in the Golden age of computers.... As a proxy for one's "language signature " I suggest that we utilize the ratio of the grammatical/typing errors encountered in a text (utilizing the TOOL Spelling and Grammar of any word processor) to the number of words in the text (utilizing the word Auto-counter). If hypothetically, (I would be loathe to admit to engaging in such a task) one was to cut and paste the two posts in question, one would find the ratios to be 22/125 (0.176) and 38/215 (.176)...this is uncanny!!

Therefore I believe that it is highly unlikely that the two posts in question, originate from two separate sources. Of course one could argue that a clever individual could alter his text to fit the proxy Language Syntax formula (that I have in fact just made up), but you must agree that this would be highly improbable. If IAMSUDBURY was able to accomplish this feat of language and mathematics, then I would propose that he or she is actually an evil genious, and that it would be in the best interset of all on this collective forum to ignore these posts, for fear of being unwittingly maipulated by such a Master of Deception.

To IAMSUDBURY let me say: Welcome Aboard!!! (This ship of fools...of which I am the largest ;) ) I for one believe that you are ONE individual. That you are from Sudbury, I will not hold it against you.

Cheers, Luker
