Does he use Emacs?

I would like to add him to Category:Emacs users, and he probably is an Emacs user since he wrote an editting mode for GNU Emacs, but I can't find a reference to confirm that he uses Emacs. If anyone can find such a reference or knows that he is an Emacs user, please add the category to this article. Thanks. Gronky 21:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I used to work at his company and I think it's safe to say that I saw him using Emacs.

He gave a talk at the XML 2003 conference from which it was clear that he uses Emacs (though perhaps not exclusively). As regards a photo, is the picture at http://www.jclark.com/bio.htm suitable for this article? It has no copyright anywhere on that page. ThomasNichols (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
