Some time back, I took a *practice* Extra test online. No

Yep, but the online tests are easier. With most of them, all you have to
do click an answer directly under the question, not shade a small block on
an answer card with a pencil. All that (reading the questions, answers, and
filling in the answer card) couldn't likely be done in eight minutes. Of
course, anything is possible, so I won't say it isn't (which is why I said
it was "almost" impossible). But I suspect you would agree such an
accomplishment would certainly be very rare.


Did it ever occur to you that his persona here could be an act?


Nope. It's too consistent across many newsgroups over a relatively long
period of time. If it's an act, he should be in Hollywood.
