Where to begin? So much silliness in a small package.
Have you forgotten this already? Same link as above:

By your own account, you lived in Glasgow and now you live in Lanarkshire (which Glasgow was in, last time I looked)—so straight away we know that all of this stuff about everyone in Scotland knowing each other is evasion and misdirection. Chances of two people picked at random in a large city knowing each other would still be low, but higher than for the whole country. It would not be unreasonable to ask—and we are not dealing with the purely random, when one of the two does rather tend to present himself as the Number One Fan of the other.
Also, as you should know, having mentioned it above, we are living in the age of something called “the Internet”. Again, by you own account, you have been in contact with Scott on board. He has (you tell us) replied to you, using the name John, the one you give in your profile (which doubtless he would do if you were merely a sock puppet, so it’s scarcely probitive).
Now, it’s not unknown for those who’ve communicated on a message board to carry on the communication via email or other means. If you have not so managed to contact your hero, we can only wonder at your cruel exclusion from the charmed circle.
I gather that the straight answer which you found yourself unable to give is that you did not learn of Scott’s article from Scott. You found it instead through your advanced Google-fu. Fascinated to know how this came about. Do you run regular searches of this form?
