Agreed, thanks Adam. I was going to express caution too. Reminds me of the alife prize by Brig Klyce that I suspect had religious motivations. On 12 Jan 2014 21:33, "Adam P. Goucher" <apgoucher@gmx.com> wrote:
Joerg,
Thank you very much for the advice. I've forwarded this to Tim Hutton and Andrew Trevorrow, who also seem to have been similarly targeted.
`Ex caeruleo' is Latin for `out of the blue' (quite literally), which is an English colloquialism for `completely unexpectedly'. I see that this could quite easily be lost in translation!
Sincerely,
Adam P. Goucher

Greetings.
Today I received a rather unusual and completely unsolicited e-mail from one Klee Irwin, mentioning the glider I found on a Penrose tiling cellular automaton:

Hi, Adam. Congrats on the Penrose tile glider. Would you have time to do some paid consulting for our group?
[...]
So, why has this person contacted me
He wants to "buy" your name/brain to gain (scientific) credibility.
You will have to check that he won't claim any sort of cooperation with you.
Suggest to just give a short "No thanks.", then play dead. Don't get drawn into any conversions of any kind!
Do keep copies of all his mails.
ex caeruleo?
What does "ex caeruleo" mean? (learning English on math-fun: fun!)
Sincerely,
Adam P. Goucher
Best, jj
