If he can type, one would logically assume he can read.
Not that logic is your strong point.

Aside from the absurdity of buses applying to the usenet,
what good is there in repeating yourself to morons?

What's your definition of "simultaneous"? Does it involve
horses or something?

It's his silly stuff that makes his serious stuff memorable. It's like
back in school, I remember what I learned and the teachers I learned
from who made learning fun. So many dull teachers I can't even remember

Keep learning fun and it works, and that is what Alton does.
