Actually, if one follows Bill's public appearances closely, one may
notice that each time a different person appears under that name.
I've done some digging, and apparently "William Scott" is a bot.
Apparently, some bioinformatics grad students were trying to
determine if crystallography could be done entirely by AI. Given
"Bill's" publication record, it appears that it could.

Standard Time.)

It comes from William Scott's e-mail account, but signed as coming
from Paul Emsley.
How do we figure out who actually wrote this e-mail with or without
control access.
The easiest way is to assume that it is coming from Bill, he just
decided to sign as a Paul to disprove his own point.
On the other way, it is only 7:30 am in Santa Cruz, then it is
unlikely to be Bill, which means that e-mail was sent by Paul.
Worth looking at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes
Wiki page, isn't it?

Most of us register on the CCP4 bb with our own names. If we say
something stupid, it damages our reputation in front of our peers. A
similar approach can be used for the Wiki. Control access, and
limit it
only to people who register with their own name and who are
registered to
the ccp4 bb.
