The second set of personal questions is taken from some posted by Sean to the MSCList in February 1998.

1. What name would you choose or have you chosen beyond that granted by your parents?
   Making more use of James, my middle name.
2. If weather followed your feelings, what would the general climate around you be like?
   Very, very variable. Most days would be very windy and quite warm, with sunny spells and heavy showers. There would be some damp, misty days, and only a very few with thunder and lightning.
3. If you were a pantheonic deity, what would your sphere of influence be?
   Ooh, erm, er. Preserving the rural way of life, ensuring that trains run to time, and casting disruptive but non injurious thunderbolts in the path of drivers.
4. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
   Mint with chocolate chip.
5. If you could, in this moment, create a geologic formation, what would you choose to create?
   I claim a rolling sandstone formation, weathered by the passing of time.
6. Why?
   It reminds me of home; it's fertile land, easy to work and walk over, and durable. And it looks nice.
7. What is your favorite number?
   e
8. Why?
   It is the ultimate in good-looking numbers.
9. What is your favorite color?
   Signal red.
10. Why?
    It's comfortable, it looks good on me, and it reminds me of autumn.
11. Why is courtesy important?
    It's one of the best ways of telling humans apart from other animals.
12. What is -2+7-(-2)?
    A collection of mathematical symbols.
13. Do you seek experiences or do you strive to provide such for others?
    A bit of both, really.
14. What's your favorite candy bar?
    Peppermint Aero.
15. Why?
    It's minty, it's not solid chocolate, and it tastes wonderful.
16. What do you most desire to accomplish?
    To be happy and content with ALI.
17. Do you like dates?
    They're good, but grapes are better.
18. What proof do you possess of the existence of others?
    The universe is aleph-1 infinite, and the maximum number of people in the universe is less than or equal to aleph-null infinity. Therefore, no-one else can exist. [Modified version of proof from Restaurant at the End of the Universe]
19. What proof do you possess of Napoli, Italy?
    None whatsoever. It's just easier to imagine it's there.
20. Do you chew gum?
    Not a chance. It's disgusting stuff.
21. Did you enjoy this?
    Yippers. Else I wouldn't post it, really...
