	Gods Graves Glyphs	Heh, it never ends, does it? "I subscribe to the group theory. I don't think anybody could do it on their own," Jacobi said. "I think the leading light was probably de Vere, as I agree that an author writes about his own experiences, his own life and personalities." Interesting, since de Vere died before Shakespeare stopped writing plays. Looks like acclaimed actor Derek Jacobi and former artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe Theater Mark Rylance, join gullible marks like Mark Twain, Orson Welles, Sir John Gielgud and Charlie Chaplin. Having recently read Twain's comments, I'd borrow from Robert Greene's 1592 condemnation of Shakespeare, and brand Clemens as mean-minded. Ooh... Greene also referred to Shakespeare as Johannes factotum defined here as Johnny do-it-all (Jack of all Trades). Regarding Shakespeare, I'd borrow from his younger contemporary, rival and friend Ben Jonson, who attributed the plays to William Shakespeare by name, and for good measure referred to him as "sweet swan of Avon". Jonson also referred to Shakespeare as not being concise in his writing -- I guess the "secret identity" folks would have to attribute that remark to the "fact" that it was a committee which wrote the plays and the sonnets. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. GGG managers are Blam, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach
