or.... you guys can simply ignore, like i have been since i ran into the various avatars of albertaxxxx. the only time i responded (reluctantly) was when he gave me a good answer.
as a few of you have pointed out, this person has never clearly given his time line, or whether he has even applied in the ainp process. there is no valid information that ever comes "exclusively" from this poster. so i don't understand why people keep asking him for advice.
he is in purely for his personal entertainment value, and he truly believes that he is a funny guy. he might very well be in other situations, not on this forum. it stopped being funny a long long time ago.
when challenged, he has never confronted anybody (using this handle at least) but has has ever apologized either. he then tries to act in a responsible manner, which lasts for some time, and back to the same behavior! if i had to guess he does not mean any harm, but he is not vested in this process the way we all are, and hence does not empathize with our problems.
once again ignore his comments, do not encourage the "supposedly" funny remarks, definitely do not believe all the prediction/nomination letters he keeps pulling out of his derriere.
my 2 cents!
