See, the problem with the above is that it should be past tense, as in "Redietz, regarding posting pics, WAS computer illiterate." I mean, since I posted these eventually, that seems fair. Or we can debate how not posting photos on a specific website makes one computer illiterate. As someone who knows/knew how to use a darkroom and layout papers for a newspaper, I find it funny to see someone decide that knowing how to publish a photo on a specific online forum is an indication of much.
On the other hand, since mickey as an adult at one time knew nothing about gambling, and since I've been gambling at relatively high levels since a teenager, one could say that mickey IS gambling illiterate, if one were to adopt mickey's inappropriate use of tenses. Or, since mickey, for example, knew nothing about how to exploit a particular sports betting bonus (which I explained to him in a PM), one could again emphasize that mickey IS sports illiterate, again if one were to adopt mickey's curious use of tenses. Hopefully, having had it explained to him, mickey now knows how to exploit the bonus optimally.
Therefore, unlike mickey, I would put "mickey knows nothing about sports gambling" in past tense. Mickey WAS sports illiterate. Now he's semi-literate, although I wouldn't trot him out in polite company a la Eliza Dolittle.
Thank you for your attention and carry on.
