Shocker, the house "Non Mormon" shows up to remind everyone he isn't LDS. Btw...

Based on your previous posts you've attended at least 5 different universities, including BYU. Education must be extremely important to you, or maybe it all just sounds a little too much to believe. So please remind us again why you are lurking on a fan board of a University that is Predominantly LDS?
