Somewhat taken aback there!

I am published but nothing most people would want to read unless
you're into instrumentation for scanning probe microscopy and
sub-nanometre scale force-distance spectroscopy...


Which still leaves the possibility of an elaborate Eliza having
ingested all my writings to then bolt appropriate phrases together...
How would anyone know other than by relying on the Turing test or a
Blade Runner style void-com(sp?) test?

Anyone game for explaining online identity? (Ideal lead-in to GPG ;-) )

Things must have happened since our last talk on the subject years ago.

Cheers,
Martin
