Is Quinn “The Eskimo!” actually a franchise?

I have long suspected that The Mighty Quinn may be somewhat more than human...
...but a recent post has led me to question everything I know.

I thought I’d write it down so that Future Quinn™ could point folks at it

This seems to be a recurring pattern.

Is Quinn “The Eskimo!” actually a franchise, like Dread Pirate Roberts?

Is Quinn “The Eskimo!” actually a franchise … ?

No.

Although you’re not the first person to have this suspicion. There’s been a few times when I’ve met folks face-to-face, at WWDC labs for example, and they were very surprised to learn that I was an individual and not some corporate construct (-:

Ha ha... of course, that's exactly what Corporate Construct Quinn™ would say!

I'll go along with it for now, but I will continue to gather evidence.

I'll be particularly looking for signs of UK Quinn™ (who I imagine has a hipster waxed moustache, and quietly hums a certain Manfred Mann song).

  • Big conspiracy at work ? No, I hope you are just joking. Do you imagine what the forum would be without Quinn, eskimo or not ?

  • Hi @Claude31. If you are familiar with Dread Pirate Roberts, then you will know that I may not be entirely serious (perhaps British humour is a bit too dry for the forum?). However, Apple would be a fool to ever let go of someone as knowledgeable as Quinn! Just saying!
