That is not quite true. So far he proved that he has no clue of maths,
and that sci.math is a more peaceful place without him.

But less interesting.

I have found that one needs to read no more than 4 distinct newsgroups
daily
(By "distinct" I mean that there is a low incidence of cross-posting
among
them) to be assured of reading current loon-threads. For example,
during
the quiet JSH-free interval just passed on sci.math, the residnt loon on
rec.skiing.alpine was especially active. Now things have reversed.

Do you think that maybe James is just another of Scotty's "personalities"
(or vice versa)? It would explain why they seem to take turns...

Nah, that's not a serious question, I'm just kidding. But it *would*
explain a lot...

Both of them have posted pictures for which neutral parties have vouched,
and they are apparently different people. I think the similarities in their
posting styles are more likely a common organic brain feature (please, not
"defect") or shared stressful experiences.

(Maybe we should try to get James involved in ACIM and send him over
there to keep him busy. I bet he'd fit right in. :-)

When the ACIM debate started on news.groups, I had no idea what it was. I
had to do a little study. (ACIM = "A Course in Miracles", a popular
self-improvement book, which has spawned a few discussion groups on usenet
and in other Internet nooks and crannies. The debate was whether to remove
an existing usenet group in favor of a moderated group.). Similarly, James'
postings compelled me to read up on algebraic integers, and Scott introduced
me to the world of "Mens' Issues".
