Default John Titor: Hoax?

"Someone using the assumed name of John Titor and claiming to be a soldier on a mission from 2036 presented a considerable amount of information on the Web beginning around November 2000 about his mission and time travel machine, his perspective on our society, how our society is going wrong, and how society as we know it will end in a very short but massive global nuclear war in 2015. He's gone now, back to 2036 he said he was going in his last posting on March 24, 2001, and the threads he left across the Web are slowly evaporating."

i just copied the first paragraph... didn't bother to read it soo sorry if it doesn't make sense

You can see more here.

This site has all the postings consolidated. The pictures of the time machine and schematics suck tho.

dunno.. I read quite a lot of this before, and its prolly just a hoax, but who knows, maybe one day it will become obvious it was real, or perhaps he did come from a parallel time line so while things are similar in many ways they wont be totally the same here for us

If you avtually read it and check the links provided, it gets a bit wierd. My guess is it's a hoax by someone who was pretty damn clever, but who the hell knows.
For some reason, I kept thinking of DB Cooper while reading that! LOL

What the heck kind of time machine was that?

He's probably just a nut, but who knows.
