As for Kawai Jones, may I speculate?
His first name is James. So he used Kawai James for many years.
His surname is Jones. So he has decided to become Kawai Jones.
So his full name is James Jones.
Was our favorite PW member formerly a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers?
Did he play basketball for the Miami Heat some years ago?
Is he now playing baseball for the Texas Rangers?
Was he the author of the acclaimed novel From Here to Eternity?

I think he just wants to be known as Mr. Jones Maybe he wishes he was someone just a little bit more funky

There's a song about a Hackensack. I think it was about missing/remembering Hackensack. It's by Fountains of Wayne apparently and it was also covered acoustically by Katy Perry in her MTV Unplugged. That's how I heard it. 😳

James participates on this forum only during working hours (maybe it’s part of his job duties?). It’s suspicious that his name was changed at the beginning of the weekend. I still believe his account may have been hacked. And James will realize that only when he starts work on Monday morning.

"Kawai Battle" wouldn't be a great nick name for a semi-official representative.

Wasn‘t he called Kawai Jones by someone in another thread, just a few days ago? I guess it‘s a joke. (But a good one.) I still think it's a joke. I found the post I mentioned above, by the way. Wouldn't it be highly improbable for user ppiioottrr to call James "Kawai Jones" and, just shortly later, for James being hacked and having his user name changed to... well, "Kawai Jones"?

I guess James is busy with the presentation of the VPC2, so Jones took its place on the forum. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/2nFVV10/kj.jpg)

Yes, I was surprised... I would bet the VPC2 would inaugurate the GrandFeel III.

Or his account was hacked? Wouldn't surprise me, seeing as how this site doesn't use encryption, even for the login page! C'mon admin, it's 2020 and basic SSL certs are FREE now.
