AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a new forum member named "wolram," which is believed to be a misspelling of "wolfram." Participants humorously speculate on the reasons behind the misspelling, questioning the need for the name "Wolfram" and suggesting it could relate to an affinity for Mathematica or tungsten, the chemical element associated with the name.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
