Skopje, Andrew Chugg etc …

I think that Andrew Chugg scholarship is on the same level as Skopje's claims to be Macedonia. I realise that there are a lot of enthusiastic people reading up about Alexander, and normally I encourage that, but I will not bother from now on answering questions stemming from his “research” or research based on watching Oliver Stones Alexander movie. I also can't be bothered to do homework for the people leaving angry comments, so if they are so superior I suggest that they do their own research. The internet is useful, but there is a wonderful invention called a library which is far superior. Whilst 99% of people have been very kind and generous, life is far too short to worry about the one or two μαλάκες.
