I have another suggestion for Oxfordians: show the Marlowe's life was in his plays to the degree that you believe Oxford's life was in Shakespeare's plays. Aside from the fact that both he and Faustus were students, there's not much that I can see. Or do the same for Jonson, leaving out the literary-feud satires. Was Jonson an alchemist, for example. Try the exercise with any playwright of the time. If you can't do it, then your not being able to do it for Shakespeare can't mean much, I shouldn't think. If you can do it, then it will greatly legitimize your thesis that Oxford put his life into the plays you say he wrote.

Hmm, why do I believe Joe will now accuse me of trying to destroy the Fellowship as a forum for responsible discussion of Oxford, and Feste and Ken will tell me there's no literary paper trail for Will Shakespeare of Stratford. And no Oxfordian will take up my suggestion.
