Chris, I had the impression that Scotsman was a Vietnam veteran, likely Army. He had health issues but was a good troop about them. Hate to say but he probably passed away. I’d guess he was in his 70’s where his service was 1965-1968.

I hope I live so long myself.

Have you tried to send him mail through FR? Maybe that would get answered?

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, trying that right now. Thanks guys.

[Beowulf9]

I hope you get his reply.

[Jim Robinson]

This is Chris by the way LOL

[ransomnote]

I’m sorry, Candor7. I don’t have any information about “Scotsman”.

[Candor7]

Well, worth a try,,,thanks for your reply.

I thought it was interesting that the last line in Scotsman's post in August of 2019 was

I feel a Hari Seldon moment approaching ...

I doubt if many FReepers would know what this refers to.

Hari Seldon, is the intellectual hero of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of novels.   It is set 10,000 years in the future on a distant planet, Trantor, the capitol planet of our galaxy.   In his capacity as mathematics professor at Streeling University on Trantor, Hari Seldon developed psychohistory, allowing him to predict the future in probabilistic terms.   His ability to predict disasters is the reason behind his nickname "Raven" Seldon.

A Hari Seldon moment for us would be an event that appears to change the course of history.   Did Scotsman have a gut feeling about the insane events that have happened in these three years?   Covid-19 happened only four months after his post.

Wow.

I once was going to read all of Isaac Asmov’s books. Then I read he wrote over a thousand!

Hat’s off to the Scotsman. I hope he is well.

[rlmorel]

That is fascinating.

I know that humans have a real talent for reading nearly anything into something, because that is what our brains are good at, but...that is just weirdly prescient.

Hope he is okay in any case.

I checked my FReepmail, but there was nothing from Scotsman in the past five years. Sorry.

[Lumper20]

Same here.
