Thanks for this, bonzer. I wanted to give Oxfordians at least some benefit of the doubt on their long string of coincidences, but as I see many that are not even “half-truths”, I lose interest in pursuing the others. Can I have the Mod retitle the thread: “Shaksper probably did write the Sonnets (though gullible/skeptical septimus still isn’t 100% sure)”? :smack:
