Information About Me and This Site

Dear New Colleagues,

      Welcome to my new educational website. There are many websites published by so-called “experts” that provide information in a question-answer format. But most, if not all, of these “experts” are only “experts” in one or two fields. It is truly a shame that high academia representation on the Internet has been limited, so far, to these intellectual underachievers.
      In January 2007, I took a voluntary, semester-long sabbatical from my rigorous research and teaching schedule. With my free time, I decided that I should offer some of my real-life expertise, which expands to nearly all fields, for no cost on the web. Let me give you some examples of where my background lies:

- I have ghostwritten for hundreds, if not over one thousand, major works of fiction and nonfiction, including a number of books that have been featured on TIME Magazine's list of the 100 most influential books of the last century.
- I have acted as a consultant for 36 different Fortune 500 companies and am currently working with a top electronic manufacturer to develop a new handheld device that some experts say will change the way we live our daily lives. (I can't really talk about it, but I can say that it's not a phone, doesn't play music, has no video games, and doesn't take pictures or record video. Damnit, I probably gave it away).
- I have traveled to more countries than I can even count and served as special assistant to three different ambassadors.
- I hold earned and honorary degrees at nearly 100 different ACCREDITED universities across the United States and England.
- I have served as legal counsel or defendant in over 15 different civil and criminal judicial procedings.
- I have advanced to managerial level employment in 2 DIFFERENT corporate franchise luncheonettes.
- I have been the primary instructor for at least part of 10 semester long courses at the collegiate level.

      The list goes on. Although I am offering my services—which some institutes of higher learning have valued in the six-figure range—for free, I am attempting to supplement my income by teaching at a local community college and by posting some links provided by google on this site. Please feel encouraged to click them.
      If you have a question you would like to have potentially answered on the site, please email them to me with your name and city. Your questions may be rephrased for clarity or so completely rewritten as to resemble a totally different question. Don't send me anything stupid, or I will be forced to point out your ignorance publicly.
      I'm glad to have the opportunity to be working with you.

                                                                             Very Truly Yours Me,
                                                                             Dr. Douglas H. Plume*

P.S. Some people have described this site as "funny," "hilarious," "satirical," and even "comedic." These people insult me. I don't know what these people seem to find funny about history and fact, but I can assure you no comedy or satire is intended.
