Exactly, dave -- which is why I long ago decided to ignore the issue till
someone suggested that Shakepeare's plays were written by an itinerant
ballad seller with no education whatsoever.
In fact, if you look at the way the candidates play over time, it's even
worse. Marlowe, but then he's not a proper role model. Then Bacon, who's a
bit more up market, but finally not a "real" Lord. And now bloody Oxford --
absolutely establishment perfect ... Yuck!!!
