November 18, 200520 yr A better question (sorry for going off topic here) is whether Chownah is Stroll? Study posting styles carefully, then decide for yourself whether a non-native English speaker would be able to write like chownah, and whether a native English speaker would be able to fake the obvious non-native writings of Stroll. I don't think so.

I don't think so. Upon further evaluation I am convinced Chownah is not Stroll. The main reason I initially thought so was that Chownah arrived on the scene about the time Stroll was summarily removed from 'that other place' and, the posting styles were somewhat similiar. Stroll spent many years in the UK where he mastered written English quite well. Enough to fool the layman - perhaps not a professional linguist.
