Re: What is a sorcerer?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A "sorcerer" is a wizard.  A magician, one who casts magic spells.

It is a pseudonym (a word with the same meaning) for someone who seems
to be able to do something with nothing, to create something out of thin air.

S/he could also be called a guru or a wizard.

Regards,

Jim Langston
