I'm reminded of hearing that the group that went by the pseudonym Nicolas Bourbaki all decided to give up and disband when they heard that Serge Lang was just one person.

I too am just a single person, but certainly one could spread rumors to the contrary. The apparent image can be seen to be propped up when you realize I post and host everything on my own website (usually first) compared others who put their content online across several dozen social media services where it's harder to aggregate, search, and reuse. Otherwise I spend a lot of my free time reading and taking notes instead of doomscrolling social media. I'm glad that there are a couple who find it interesting much less inspiring, so thanks for that.

I started out in the rural South in the United States and there's nothing British about me aside from my genetic roots which probably tend more to the Scots-Irish and Welsh. My background is primarily engineering and the sciences, but I've read fairly broadly within the humanities, and that may show through from time to time.

What about you Rick? Where are you from? What's your background? Thanks again for stopping by.
