Thank Jan for the amusing Facebook story..I am relieved to find a counter to my conspiracy theory—that Eric has a new ECCO replacement and is using the alias “Pierre”....

I had quite the laugh reading this. I can guarantee that, if I live in the same country as Eric (at least the last known country, and albeit at the other end of), I’m not Eric Sommer. :-)

Jan, this is kind of freaky, because I had been thinking about ADM in the last week, and wondering.
Is Eric still in China - though I can be rough at times, and God knows my sarcasm about Eric and his Vancouver partner knew few bounds, I have hoped that somehow he might be heard from again.
With less altruism, I have hoped that ADM might again be developed. From what I have seen of Neville’s recent work with Surfulater, he could make a go of ADM. Just a thought.
One of the things that I most liked about ADM - and something others didn’t like at all - was its appearance. It had a clean look. And it didn’t look like a Microsoft Windows clone.
And on Eric’s behalf I will say that when he was on his game he was incredibly responsive to ideas and suggestions. Somehow, apart from our speculations about lack of capital, I wonder whether he somehow got sidetracked while in China. My anger having long passed, I do wish him well.
Maybe there’s some resolution to all of the ADM angst of the last few years.
Cheers,
Daly

Well there is a possible solution for those curious about Eric. Join Facebook and ask Eric to become your friend.

Possible, but not easy.
There’s no FB member that looks like Eric that comes up on a search of his name.
There are lots of ppl with the same name who have no photograph.
One could seek to be friends with them all, but he would see who is seeking to be his friend and could easily ignore the request - as he has ignored attempts to communicate with him. As has his business partner Arne.
