    From the North Country...

    Welcome from Fort Drum / Watertown!! I'm a native New Yorker (Finger Lakes...definitely not the city) who's found himself back here for a little bit. It's great to have more New Yorkers here at XMTS. I'm sure you'll learn tons and meet some great people, as I have.

    Hi, Jim (another Jim!) and welcome to XMTS from the bottom end of Africa.
    Actually, it should be no surprise to find guys named Jim around here, because the name James was Scottish before it was English.
    It comes from the same Hebrew root as Jacob (Ya’acov), but by way of Italian. In some Italian dialects the name is Jacopo, but in others it comes out as Jacomo. This form found its way to Scotland, and the rest is history (especially the six Kings James of Scotland [the last of whom became James I of England] and after them James II of England).
    Regards,
    Mike
