Quirky as jOhn's approach to written language may be, I find his posts much easier to read than those of his imitators here, plus which they're usually interesting and insightful. There's got to be some one-of-a-kind original creative intelligence at work there.

I have *often* seen jOhn's name "misspelled" with a numeral <9> instead of (or in addition to) the capital letter -- not just here in the title of this thread, but earlier, frequently, and I assume by differnt individuals. I thought maybe he used to spell it that way (before my time) and then more-or-less corrected it -- or maybe he or someone else from Hull habitually makes typos hitting the <9> key when intending to type an or on the row immediately beneath.
