Probably face-to-face contact, much over-rated in this Internet age.
For example, John has seen my book and has sent me goodies to enjoy,
does he imagine I might not actually exist? That's silly. Perhaps
I'm the ultimate Turing machine? Not only answering questions, but
starting threads and provoking human thought, all from a computer?
Ahem, I mean a computer program? Just a little intentional mistake
there, meant to throw machine-human-impersonator seekers off track.

I was going to say exchange of photons, but it occurs to me that I
have probably exchanged photons with at perhaps a billion people so
far. It would be an interesting calculation.

"Intentional Mistake"? Now, there's one for Norman to coordinate! ;-P

How do I know you're not Robert Redford, or Barbara Streisand, writing
electronics books under an assumed name?

Thanks to all for the all the great test ideas.
The saddest part of this story(other than my truly bad arithmetic
skills) is that the rep for the company who makes this part is unable
to locate the FAE for their mosfets.

Of course intentional mistake. Not being a real person, but a computer
program masquerading as a real person, I have to make mistakes, just as
a real person would do. But, as a computer program that never makes
mistakes, this is clearly an intentional apparent mistake, intended to
make me, the Turing machine computer program, look like a person. And
how to explain this revelation of the subterfuge? That's another thing
only a human would do, so of course as a superior Turing machine program
I have to do that as well.

See below: "Identity and Deception in the Virtual Community". Maybe
you're an experiment that escaped from the MIT Media Lab, and the real
Win Hill is collaborating.

Human-to-human bandwidth can be *way* faster than USENET, depending on
the humans. Face-to-face is under-rated, methinks.
Besides, even though I personally deny existing, how do *we* know you
and Jim Thompson aren't really the same guy? ;-)

I've talked to Jim, and met Win once at one of the MIT yard sales -
although I doubt he remembers, we were both buying books, and ended up
talking about flywheels. I bought a pair of 7904's and carried them back
to Worcester Square. Ye gods my arms hurt the next day.

Flywheels? Sorry I don't remember.
Hmm, did you mention boat anchors?
