it is a combination of everything, like i said, way too much drama in a very short period of time. i don't know if anyone has anything on the DeepintheHurtgenForest episode from the distant past anywhere in the archives, but it is very instructive at how loving, caring Freepers can be taken for a ride. Some very big names were hornswoggled back then. Coop, were you around back then?

DHF had Freepers send stuff to him. If I remember right, he was a real con artist-type and his stories were very convincing.

I may be too pronoid, but Bogdan has not only been consistent, he's been thorough and has a Comcast home page that reflects what he's said here.

Also typing vs talking, second language learners generally learn English one of two ways, by reading/writing or verbally. He may write better than he speaks. He may have more friends here than out there. With four kids, FR may be his main social life.
