This is just out of curiosity: Does Cecil ever respond directly to any questions directly on this message board? Or ever occassionally pose one himself? I love to read any GD or GQ or even a Pit Thread he has been involved with. ---

Do a search for Cecil Adams in the right hand box on the search page. You will find his relatively few posts. ---

Himself? There are no facts that even confirm him as an individual. It’s merely a facade for a team that has composed “Cecil” over the years. ---

Yes, he’s got 120 posts (or so). Do a search for the user name “Cecil Adams” and you’ll be able to see them. The most recent was a few weeks ago. Usually, I’m told, he replies to things in Comments About Cecil’s Columns. ---

Heh, maybe we can get a post from Cecil telling **skaterboarder** what he thinks about the whole “you don’t exist” thing. 😉 ---

Hi, **Accipiter1**. Welcome to the boards. This question should have been posted in the **About This Message Board** forum. Here is a recent discussion on the same topic: [About Cecil Replying on the SDMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=183312) ---

In the last month or so, Cecil posted in a thread directly after me! But he apparently didn’t think my post was worthy as he ignored me.😃 ---
