Identity of James
I think I may have figured this mystery out: "James" is James Zetlen. He's an "old friend" of Randall's according to his about page. On the xkcd IRC channel (which you can read about here) he goes by "zetlen"; he used to go by "khmer" (or "khmer_at_work"), as evidenced by his hostname recorded in this xkcdb entry (among others). (About the xkcdb.) Check out quotes of "zetlen" and "khmer"; also take note of this quote, where he claims that he is the source of half of Randall's ideas. KangaroOS 06:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
