Dear Thunder Maverick,
"You got all of that just from someone joking about how they're Burroughs?"....Well not completely Thunders if I may be familiar...Just as the British Morse Code Surveillance Technicians,listening to German Operators in War time Europe, were able to recognise individual operators by their "Fist",marking thousands of assignments handed in by Students in my past, often enabled me to sniff out those plagiarising others....So I can feel that those jokingly claiming to be Burroughs,are not...let them produce some original prose and we will believe them...For those unused to this,next time they see something impressively original and profound,feed a few key phrases into into Google,surprising the results sometimes!
