I don't want to have him over for dinner. Sam is a fictitious character created by saa regulars. There is a rotation roster, listing who has to be Sam each week. Originally the "Sam duty" was for a one month period, but we found the onerous nature of the job required us to cutback on the expectations. No one manages to be Sam longer than two weeks. And, we find that by the end of the first week, they are wearing out and do not provide the same quality during the second week. Once we realized the exhausting nature of being a thorough Sam, we cut it back to one week rotations. If you carefully examine the headers, you can often trace it back and find out who has the Sam duty in any given week. However many people take the trouble to use a different email service for Sam posts so you can simply match it up with their usual. And most people forward their Sam posts to the same remailer so they will look the same. Of course, some people do not take the same pride in being Sam for the week. If we have a slacker this week, your post may not get any response. If it is someone diligent, they may post that they are definitely *the* Sam Wormley. Of course, now that you are in the know, you can ignore the Sam of the week. As to inviting him to dinner, it depends solely on who is being Sam that week. Hope this helps.

Someone who experienced dinner with Sam, once said, "He gave me no opportunity to share his studies. He would only, in the course of the meal and in-between other matters, mention, as if in passing, today the figure of the apogee of one planet, tomorrow the nodes of another." |
