(Sorry for the lag, but…) I can’t verify **Projammer** ’s grandiose claim in [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=432966&page=4&pp=10), but he passes a SDMB Turing Test of sorts, in that he displays as much individuality and agency as any other disembodied voice on this board. ---

The overtly Germanic character of **fachverwirrt** ’s name may be taken by some as an indicator of superior quality, as in German beers or cars, but that would be an erroneous assumption. ---

In addition to the nonsense he propagates in English, **Sunspace** is fluent in Esperanto, which means he can speak gibberish in a tongue understood by another 1,481 or so other adherents around the world. ---
