I think the reference was to somebody who goes by the name of jlallen with whom I had a short conversation on a libertarian board on SI. Not aware that the poster approved or disapproved of my posts as the gist was that they were not interested in the subject. Ok by me.
Anyway, Merry Winter Solstice, in whatever form it is celebrated at your house.
