Frankly, I've never bought the evidence for you being Richard Graham,
and seeing you posting every day, all day only increased my doubt.
There is no evidence to buy. Shippy at one point admitted to being
Richard Graham, before he started vigorusly denying it. That's the extent
of the "evidence": some annonymous troll on the internets contradicting
his own damn self.
Unless of course you want all this nonsense to go on
because you're enjoying it.
Bingo! We've got a winner.
That's a possibility. Another possibility
is that you are Richard Graham after all and can't prove otherwise.
And if he is, so what?

One could say, "so what" to all of this. But I feel this person is a sort of
a cancer. He actually hopes to habituate us to his presence, so he can shill
his ****. Read this:
http://www.prwatch.org/books/experts.html. It explains
the concept of the "Big Lie", invented by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's chief
propagandist. He stated that it is easier to make people believe a big lie
than a small one.
The person I believe to be Richard Graham is attempting to habituate us to
the presence of a lying shill on this newsgroup. Once he gets us to swallow
his parasitical self, he figures he can really go to town selling and
shilling snake oil. In my opinion, the reason he keeps bringing up the
denial that he is Richard Graham is because his activities here are in
serious collision with his ethical responsibilities as a medical
professional. He desperately wants to maintain two separate lives, just as
Brian L. McCarty did. So he has to dispatch the suspicion that he is Richard
Graham.
I write screenplays. Part of learning the craft is writing different
characters. To do this successfully, one has to learn how to write in
different "voices". To do this, one has to get inside the head of different
people. I've read Dr. Graham's newsletters. To a writer, they sound very
similar to his posts here. Both individuals have similar styles, mannerisms,
and vocabularies. Both are extremely wordy. As I read both his posts and the
newsletters, I detect the same fingerprints in both. This is the first piece
of evidence.
The second piece of evidence is that Dr. Richard Graham writes in one of his
newsletters that he has chosen the moniker "soundhaspriority". PWB
Electronics sells an embossed aluminum sticker with those words, alleged to
have magical powers to make audio equipment sound better.
The third piece of evidence is a long rant, written in what I judge to be
under the influence of cocaine, which is completely uninhibited, in which
Dr. Graham freely discusses the issues he now wishes to deny. I recognize
the style of that writing as Dr. Graham's.
The fourth piece is that "soundhaspriority" states repeatedly that Richard
Belt is one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. This person
wants us to believe this. Wanting us to believe this is important only to
someone who has a shared economic interest with PWB Electronics. Richard
Graham does; he writes their newsletter, and let's not be so naive as to
believe he does it for charity.
Fifth: It's also worth considering that a mere troll would not spend 90% of
his posts here denying that he is someone he is not. One of the persons who
was nominated to be the true "soundhaspriority" has a habit of impersonating
living people. For some reason, it is extremely important to
"soundhaspriority" that:
1. He remain anonymous.
2. We not believe that he is Richard Graham.
This is not typical sockpuppet behavior.
The sixth element is not evidential, but it must be considered. Dr. Graham
is an extremely intelligent, albeit unbalanced individual. In terms of sheer
IQ, he considers himself to be more intelligent than any of us. He is
involved in an extremely intricate battle of wits with you. Because of his
intelligence, he can create layer upon layer of lies, intended to confuse
and mislead you. Alan Turing, a seminal British computer scientist, invented
a test of intelligence. According to Turing, the more intelligent entity can
lie and deceive the less intelligent. In my opinion, Dr. Graham is convinced
that by continued deployment of what he considers his superior intelligence,
he can convince you that "soundhaspriority" is someone else. This is the
essence of the Turing Test of artificial intelligence.
The most dangerous thing for any of us is not to acknowledge that there are
people who are more intelligent than us. This goes for anyone. There is
someone more intelligent than you, than me, or practically anyone. High
intelligence is the essential tool of the successful con man. The profession
has attracted many people who aren't smart enough, such as Brian L. McCarty.
But Richard Graham has almost pulled it off. Particularly sophisticated is
the "free tweak" gambit. This is actually how Three Card Monty is played. He
lets you win, before he takes you Big Time.
Don't let Richard Graham take you Big Time.
