The second one we can rule out, because... well, because I said so. So Sam's abductor - the spy from Katoo - must be a European, or at least have learned Engish in Britain.

My tipoff here was the phrase "we need people as Sam;" this phrase, while technically, I believe, correct, is terribly archaic, and not one found in common use. Therefore, the possible conclusions are again twofold: our quarry is not a native speaker, or he is... well, me. And, again, I say he's not me.

 Okay, here's the body-text....
 Maybe its not difficult to believe the possibility of those *grammar*-mistakes in the aliens text, since aliens probably dont have english as their first language either!
 
 Although i dont think we should work that way, cos they are only some words. I think i have a better way to find out who it is, maybe find out on what host the alien has infiltrated, probably a host already used here in the forum and then the one who used that host already... WE SHOULD INTERROGATE HIM OR HER ABOUT IT.
 There's of course always a possibility that, by a coincidal coincidence, the alien used a host similar to a host of that poor rinkworker, then we should apologize to that forum-reader.
