Ladies and Gentlemen of Alt.Flame:  I present for your consideration

	Fai Lau

The person who posts Fai Lau articles is obviously well-educated and
articulate.  Note that I do not refer to Fai Lau, but to the person or
persons unknown who write the articles that appear under that name.

Surely no one so mentally deficient as to have, in earnest, written "Fai
Lau" postings would be competent to even recognize the alphabet, much less
post on the Usenet.

Perhaps the true author of the articles attributed to "Fai Lau" is
observing the effects of a single ignoramus on an otherwise reasonably
intelligent population.  Or, perhaps, we are dealing with an
extraterrestrial who disguises his intelligent ignorance under a mask of
stupid ignorance.

So, you who write "Fai Lau" postings:  What are you up to?
