I don't expect his new blog to have anything more than that, either. He does also seem to want to try to garner as much attention as possible by trying to be controversial and abusive which, apparently, he is failing at. Sux2behim. :-) @TW: I had to do a Google search for this character. I chuckled, but I don't know about laughing for weeks. I feel rather sad for him, actually, but time will tell. :-) @Psychodiva:

Well worth a look at some of his posts (where he "scientifically proves" the existence of God based on gravitational curvature...). You will laugh for weeks.

I'm not sure if I made it clear enough that that wasn't the case. ;-) He seems to be under the rather interesting delusion that having his name, which is John A Davison by the way, plastered all over the web will ensure that he has a legacy for future generations to fawn over. Time will tell, but I suspect not - even within his own lifetime, John A Davison doesn't even have the notability for a Wikipedia article. There are so many terabytes of shit on the Internet, John A Davison's contributions are simply lost in the noise. @Reed: Thanks! That is somewhat unlikely as it was for a pretty mundane reason, and not something that's worth blogging about, least of all here. @Brock: Nope, this fella's email came totally out of the blue, and our entire correspondence is above for all to see. I have no idea what he's reading, but I'd be happy to take a guess at what he's smoking... @TW:

One thing I remember from the days when USENET was still usable is that trolls, nutters, cranks and kooks make a massive deal about getting people to identify themselves. It is a huge fallacy and, largely is just a delaying tactic while the crank comes up with something else (usually a load of ad hominems or false appeals to authority). It is a shame (*) to see John A Davidson doing the same. (*) and by shame, I mean not a shame but really funny and sadly predictable. Great to see you back!
