psychoceramics: McElwaine sighting - Earth Changes

[Bruce Ediger <bediger @ csn.net>]

I think I might have spotted Robert McElwaine.  He's posting as the entity
"r--@a--.com".  A DejaNews author search shows 18 articles, posted on
September 10 and 11 and on October 8, although I twigged to the user name
via a post that wasn't in DejaNews.

The "r--@a--.com" enitity has added to the McElwainean repetory,
too.  In addition to old favorites like the Eckankar rant (missing claims
to McElwaine's Eck Rating) and the Larsonian Physics rant (Bob is still a
"B.S., Physics and Astronomy"), McElwaine has picked up on "Earth Changes".

This is the movement headed by Gordon-Michael Scallion which believes that
sometime between now and 2015, a huge series of cataclysms will completely
re-arrange the geography of the entire world.  Apologies to our European
Correspondents, but they're due to be 5 fathoms underwater in 2015, as will
the California, Nevada and Utah list members.  Australia gains in above
water size, however.  Andrew's safe.

I purchased G-MS's "Future Map of the World" last year.  It can easily be
interpreted as the unconcious byproduct of religious and racial prejudice.
The parts that are underwater are places like California (perverts and loose
women!), Utah (Mormons!), much of Africa (Yow!  Negros!) and a lot of Europe
(decadent, wine-drinking popists!).

The "Earth Changes" bunch is pretty eclectic and the "Future Map" is based
on dreams, revelations and prophecies by a divergent lot.  It's really no
surprise that Robert "Crack of all Trades" McElwaine picked up on it.
Is there any idea too goofy for McElwaine to disbelieve it?
