Note that only shows when the user last viewed a page in the 'Moodle in English' course. Not when they lasted logged in to moodle.org. As you might guess from the name, and City/town, Pascal Boulerie has logged in and posted to Moodle in French more recently than that.

Tim "As you might guess from the name, and City/town, Pascal Boulerie has logged in and posted to Moodle in French more recently than that."

Very true, and the fact that French moodlers do not eat Marmite (most French people do not even know that the stuff exists) does not help making them "helpful moodlers" on the English forums.black eye

Hi Frankie

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I always thought the term was derived from 'particle', to stress their Brownian-like motion:

I see a whole lot of search-engine queries in your analysis, always from the same giant. No wonder, one goes in all kinds of tangents.

Many particularly helpful but dormant Moodlers. The Guinness Award goes to the cicada insect which can lie dormant for 13 to 17 years before emerging from underground to mate.
