Friends, I though some of you might enjoy this.  I got a cold call from
this crank today, name of  Alan Tarica.  I wondered if other Twain-LIST
folks know the name.  Did a little search to find he is notorious for cold
calling scholars and calling them colorful names (see below).  Evidently he
is drawn to MT due to the Shakespeare book and evidently he likes reading
the sonnets backwards.

So: beware of the flaming Alan Tarica, you may be next on his list!!!  If
you google his name you will find that my experience today is becoming
common throughout the English speaking world...

respectfully, -Hal B.

So yeah, that illustrates you aren't the only clueless dipshit in the
world.  Again clearly Samuel Clemens had the good sense to question the
authorship of Shakespeare's works without even having the benefit of the
Earl of Oxford as a candidate.  Or my clearly brilliant analysis of the
Sonnets which you are clearly too craven and likely to even to inept to try
and refute.
