From Elbert Wade's former Guestbook -- Nicole wrote: "Your site is quite interesting and very true, but how do we know you are not a fake. I mean, think about it, how else would you know how to be a fake, unless, you are guided by experienced." [sic] [experience?] [While obviously not an English major, Nicole makes a valid point.]

At first Elbert Wade, PMAFA, was somewhat upset. But after he cooled down he realized these relevant facts:

• Not everybody who visits elbertwade.com has time to read all the pages. If they did, this page would be unnecessary.) "Catch-22": Those who didn't read other pages probably will not read this one either!
• Not everybody reads web pages carefully. In this fast-paced, instant-gratification, 10-second attention span, "let's-get-on-with-it" world a lot of people get bored after reading a few lines (of Elbert Wade's -- or anybody else's words) and move on to something else.
• Elbert Wade's pages are intended to offer valid information, instruction and guidance -- laced with quite a bit of irreverent humor.
• If Nicole or anybody else wonders if Elbert Wade, PMAFA, is what he represents himself to be, you are invited to visit the links below where you will most likely find the information you seek. There are a lot of pages at this web site so this list is intended to be selective in order to save you time.
