Yes I admit it. Like a complete idiot I visited the Chicago/
Minneapolis region earlier this year (Jan). I guess coming
from the South, I really dig huge piles of white stuff. And
I can say "Eliezer" correctly. I also tasted some of his mom's
spaghetti :-)
Oh yeah, yes he is 19.
I can provide more details if needed. And since I should be
meeting with Max More tomorrow, you can verify with him that
I am not some alter ego of Eliezer :-)
