    I asked him about this 4 months ago: https://bsky.app/profile/champ.org.uk/post/3lzgdloce522e [1]

    He replied thus:
    https://bsky.app/profile/excelpope.net/post/3lzghcg63mc2b [2]


    [1] "Why weren't you in this, @excelpope.net?
    Giving everyone else a chance, yeah? https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/19/uk_excel_champ_crowned/"

    [2] "Basically. It's the same as the way the Pope doesn't get involved
    in the priest-on-priest wrestling matches... I have to conduct myself
    on a higher plane."

    In a similar vein (I think).

    Every day's a school day, the mind boggles!


    If your mind is boggled, perhaps a brain dump to a data file, send it off to one of these geeks and get them to design a spreadsheet to sort it out for you?

    There's little enough to dump, these days.
