The credit for the picture must to the no longer anonymous author of
the message, Jim Martin, anthropologist and China specialist, who
lives in Richmond, Virginia.

I was thinking of Peter just the other day, wondering what had
happened to him, and if he was any longer on the list. Time goes by
quickly now, but it seems to me that only a few months ago he was
writing to us about the ontological status of computer programs and
the bearing of this on whether they could be copyrighted. It was, I
see longer ago than I'd remembered. I'll miss him, his neo-Buddhist
reflections on the insubstantial self; on Frege and Wittgenstein; and
on logic matters. He's surely investigating these things further.

He was indeed as the anonymous author of the lines from Anthro-L says,
an 'articulate and always interesting correspondent.'

Thanks for letting us know, John, and for the wonderful picture.
