Ox, you are usually pretty intuitive with these things but unless X has gotten his school certificate during his enforced sabbatical from this forum, the posting of shannon appears to be a little too articulate for X. Either that or he has learned to copy and paste from word after a thorough going over with a spell/grammar checker.
If it is X, the subtle gender change is a real worry but then again, maybe he was always into that. I just keep thinking about Italians and body hair.
It paints a really awful picture. Remember Klinger from M.A.S.H?? Sure he was Lebanese but you get the picture.
