I was wondering whether there have been suspected or confirmed posts by actual famous people at these boards?

I’ve posted this in CS, but I don’t mean only to be asking about celebs who perform in movies, tv, or radio. Or, um, in the kitchen. Or by writing things.

What I mean is, any famous person will do, not just people famous by doing CS-type things.

Define “famous.” I was (in)famous in my field once, but then, it’s a very **small** field, filled with very **strange** people. 😃

Well, Eve, of course, is Eve Golden who wrote for Variety, and there was a recent sighting of Jim Beaver. aha was a rock and roll star for Western Union.  
The Bad Astronomer grew famous, wrote a book, and left us.

We’ve had a few Jeopardy contestants, most notably 5 time champ.
