I told you guys something was up! Several threads back!


But, I do not think English is his second language.

His writing skills and content comprehension put him at about 14, but I suspect he is closer to 16 or 17. He definitely speaks English and he does not make common mistakes of people who do not speak English who try to speak English.

He does not capitalize his I's (i)..pointing towards a typical American teenager. His responses are often one sentence or less, again pointing towards a typical American teenager.

But all together, I think he is a fabulist more than anything. (Based on observation in this forum and in other forums)..Saltwater ponds and what not

How would an average American teenager know that Creole was spoken in Haiti? Although I'd think they'd at least know how to correctly spell the name of the country they were from.

Sean, We're just messing with you. I really think you should keep the kuhilis & get some dwarf puffers to go with them.

I may be in contact with them, PP. They were supposed to be looking into shipping charges to Dayton. Anthony Malletto or something close to that? If not then there's another Congo in the US in Chicago I haven't found out about yet :wink: Hmmm....

Oh that was you? I couldn't remember where you lived & he told me he was looking into shipping that to OH. They said it's been there for months. I'd contact Tony again.
