"Starmaker" does not comprehend the difference of elapsed time between
events and the human usage of locally assigned time. Most of the
questions he raises in these newsgroups are based on common word
applications without any ability to appreciate the essential nuances
implicit in specific usages. It gets even worse because he apparently
cannot fathom the specifics associated with words i.e. "two," "to," and
"too." One can easily see his consistent use of the wrong version of
words in his postings. Initially I thought he was just trying to be
funny but eventually the true nature of his handicap in these regards
became apparent.

As a result I've stopped reading his input because he clearly intends to
avoid achieving any progress while clearly demonstrating his intention
to remain the clown in the back of a classroom while also clearly often
demonstrating an inebriated state when posting.

Where it comes to wasting my time I have much better ways to achieve
that.
