    You know, I think the Silver Spoons are going to need to be reordered - I'd suggest at least a case. SS is in rare form today, asking overly-vague questions with even less detail than normal. Considering what's normal, that's really saying something.

    Actually, the lower level of the tent in the Desert has thousands of cases of Silver Spoons. We stocked up the last time we placed an order.

    I get the impression that he's not very far up the chain of command. I seems as if he just gets orders thrown at him by higher ups.

    My big thing is that he gets so many articles, books, etc. etc. thrown at him and it seems like he either never looks at them, or, if he does, he cannot remember anything.

    It's been said before that SS may not actually be one person, or not the same person that they used to be. Looking at the most recent posts they seem to be written differently from earlier ones this year. The English doesn't seem to be as good and even for him (her\them) the questions are very vague.

    It would certainly go some way to explaining why at 4k-some points they seem to be barely capable.

    Just to solve our curiosity, someone ought to PM the SS and ask some of these questions. And if it's multiple people, ask why they don't just create a new account for each person.
