You’re kidding, right? He’s never been more active than lately. In one form or another. ---

Cecil has never been interested in or active on the boards. Once in a great while, he responds to something in the forum “Comments on Cecil’s Column” and occasionally he finds something in “General Questions” (or elsewhere) for use as a column. What can I say? He’s an eccentric genius, he’s never liked talking to or dealing with people, and he sees the boards as just another way of having to deal with people that he’d rather avoid. ---

Quite clearly, Cecil and I have a lot in common. I can’t tell you how excited I am about he and I becoming bosom friends.
