Dude, there are a few indications a person is a tinfoil hatter:

1) Use of the word "fedgov" to describe the federal government. "Fedgov," like "comsymp," is a type of shorthand jargon that sounds childish to the average listener but makes the speaker feel like he's "in on the know."

2) The excess use of exclamation points!!! The user is evidently worried the reader will not realize the importance of the subject the user is discussing. And

3) Lots of CAPITALIZED WORDS in a sentence. Subconciously, the user is screaming to be heard.

'Nuff said.

I've had a . . . some might say noiser than life; other's larger than life; others stranger than life; others more emotional than life--life--all my life.

It's part of the given. I can turn the volume down or up but the given doesn't really go away. So, mostly, especially in such contexts, I just enjoy being more or less me. Some tolerate. Some mock. Some ignore. Some even enjoy and tell me so privately. I think that's life--probably even for more conventional, saner folk.

BTW, the timeline I sort of half-heartedly hypothesized a few decades ago has seemed to march onward perhaps even faster than I speculated at times. Don't see as how I should abandon such hypotheses after so much confirmation over 3-4 decades.

I don't really care THAT much how many listen to me. I DO LIKE VERY MUCH TO ENGAGE FOR MY OWN LEARNING folk who share such perspectives and are willing to engage in meaningful iron sharpening iron dialogue about same.

And I prefer typing in shorthand of various kinds. I love diversity and variety and color. I plan to continue doing so. Make of it what you will.

If your personal web page is The Time Cube Site, you just might be tinfoil material.
