[From Fred Nickols (2007.06.23.1137)]
I've been doing some browsing re PCT and here are some of my findings.
I went to Ed Ford's web site and read several papers there, including two by Tom Bourbon. Good stuff. I don't recall seeing Ed or Tom post to this list. Are they on it?
Based on some comments Tom made about IAACT, I went to their web site and poked around a bit. Didn't find anything consistent with Tom's comments. Most of what I found read like it was pretty consistent with PCT. But, then, Tom's paper was from 1999 so IAACT might have changed its ways since then. Anyone know more about this group than what's on its web site?
Also went to wikipedia and lo and behold there's a link to Bill's PCT for Beginners paper (version dated 6/20/07). That's pretty fast. Not sure who's responsible for writing all that wikipedia information but the use of "behaviour" suggests an Aussie or a Brit. Anyone know who's tending to the PCT entries on wikipedia? And how Bill's paper got there so quickly?

Both were on the list once. Ed left some time ago (1992 or so) and Tom
left shortly thereafter (in about 1996, I think). I am reputed to be
the one who drove them off. If so, it was an unintended side effect of
controlling for something else.
Also went to wikipedia and lo and behold there's a link to Bill's PCT for Beginners
paper (version dated 6/20/07). That's pretty fast. Not sure who's responsible for
writing all that wikipedia information but the use of "behaviour" suggests an
Aussie or a Brit
Or a New Yorker who spent a lot of time in Canada (I see the hand of
the great Cziko at work here;-))

I did link Bill’s PCT for the Beginner article to the Wikipedia article (and just linked another, pending his approval). But I have not been rsponsible for much else in the Wikipedia article on PCT other than getting it going.
And I would never spell “behavior” with an unneeded and wasteful extra “u”!

Ah, then it was that fellow who is from Canada via England. Why can't
the English teach their children how to spell?

Oh dear! Here we go, CSGnet is approaching another schism! Al� 1054, with
filioque vs. none. Or 325, the iota of difference ('homoousios' vs.
'homoiousios').
So, shall we split over an upsilon (Y,U) of difference? Ooooo!
Anyway, thought I would chime in.
