I've had a brief email exchange. You will occasionally see his ghost flit briefly through the list of people connected. He is well, but busy. he drew my attention to this addendum to his last post:-

 

2500 looks nice.

New level seems a good place to rest.

New title deserves philosophical contemplation.

"Silence" is an experiment.

It appears Jim isn't so ineluctable after all.

 

But, contemplate this, Jim. The trend in the attached figure suggests that Ken will not have a new title for you until after more than 6000 posts. Better get busy.

Strange words from an astronomer, Chris!

 

Those who study non-linear mathematics usually say, "Defining our field as non-linear mathematics is akin to defining another field as the biology of non-elephants."

Far too many syllables, of course, but that's nearly terse enough to be a haiku... :rolleyes:

Good try, Al.

 

I was trying to entice him in with grammatical questions.

 

We just have to be provocative enough ...

I know Jim has a lot of ICA work on his plate - in contrast, I've just finished scanning the batch of ICA Newsletters I copied at the Horniman a year ago, so I'm free to annoy you all, and leisurely catch up on all the other things I should have done!

Yes, it's a good game, Spot The Jim. Rules are simple: every time you see his login, you add a post that says, simply, "I'VE SEEN JIM". The person who sees Jim most often in the year will gain no prize beyond a certain inner satisfaction.

 

Actually, there he is now...

 

I'VE SEEN JIM.

I have actually heard on good authority that owing to a computer error the actual number of Jim`s postings is 2501 ,so no problem Jim back to the keyboard my friend.

Maybe we should just all flood the forum with posts; I bet when people reach 2000 or so postings he will start posting again to keep ahead of the pack... of course they need to have purpose and be concertina related :)

I like to play the concertina. I played some last night. Oh, and I saw Jim on this thread yesterday (to be on topic for this thread). How's that, Bill? Still a long way to go, though.
