A copy of Einstein's 1905 paper is on the web at
"elecmovbodeng.pdf". At the bottom of every page of that pdf version
there is a line that says,
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/
If you click on it, your browser opens and the Fourmilab page come
up. A person named John Walker owns that web site. He is evidently
very adept and intelligent.

The only person on these newsgroups that seems to be as computer-
adept and as intelligent as John goes by the name "Androcles". (Yes,
I know he sems to be a cook, most of the time; but every once in
awhile he writes things that show a very deep and wide degree of
knowledge and a high level of intelligence.)

I wonder if we should call Androcles "Jonny"; and whether he Is John
Walker in disguise.

My understanding is that Androcles is a foul mouthed British
electrician. Mr. Walker is the founder of Autodesk, Inc, and one of
the creators of AutoCAD. Two highly distinct people.

Androcles is as intelligent as John.
His real name is John Parker.
