Quote from deadbroke:
In my younger days I met an outstanding swedish gal in Germany and she convinced me to go with her to live in Sweden, but said she, "after one week in Stockholm, I will not answer you if you speak to me in English or German - you've gotta speak Swedish - its for your own limitless future"
What a gal!!!
I enrolled in a government school - there were many, many foreigners in my class from so many countries, it was sheer poetry to me.
One day, a Thai student just could not grasp a vocabulary word - after explaining the concept within the swedish language several times, the Professor (Rolf) gave him the word in his own language (Thai).
The Thai boy almost fell off his chair. So did I.
I almost fell off again when it was quickly learned in a private chat that Rolf was proficient in upwards of 24 languages, possibly 30+
I was in HEAVEN.
Within a year I was reading Dagens Nyheter a swedish newspaper and conversing at a level that caught every swede's attention. And how did that come about?
I was definitely a major part of it for I was relentless as a student but the rest was due to Rolf, a teacher creme de la creme, the best of the best.
THAT IS WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT

I found one person here, that has helped me when I pm them, and was willingly to share some information with me. So grow up.

However, I never stalked someone on a website like you do because it does not accomplish anything but make you look like a jackass.

If I wanted to learn to play soccer well, I'd search out, hunt down, befriend and nail an agreement from - a fellow such as Ronaldo when he was in his prime, especially, but even later when the benefit of wisdom from afar would add another dimension to his creative teaching wherewithal.
Another massive contribution from moderator Ivan (this seems to have totally escaped moderator Saint ElectricSavant) was something to the effect, "I don't come to ET to learn anything"
special note: if any asshole misconstrues this to mean that I have a problem with ES, you're wrong. ES is a good man, I like his work.

Newbies pay attention now ....
Lucrum is one of the following ....
(1) Baron himself using the Lucrum alias
(2) A hired by ET traffic generator - evidence is easy in that watch how he only bumps up certain threads.
There is only one other possibility remaining, i.e. if not (1) or (2) then
(3) as a regular poster, a husband's worst nightmare wife.
I'm inclined to believe its (2) for the nonchalance, a nearby lion notwithstanding ....

My spam finger (the middle one) sometimes cramps, but I lube it up and work it out...(I use a Microsoft Comfort mouse). ☺
