  Then please go play mathematician on a mathematics newsgroup, so that
you won't keep pounding your head into a concrete wall to alleviate the
frustration you fell in not being accorded the proper respect as the heir
apparent to the kingdom of god. I don't think anyone here is into eye
averting. I suspect that's true of sci.math.*, too, but at least that
hasn't been established.

  Before you go charging down a path which has already been tried
by george hammond, you might want to note that god didn't drop by
and support his theory either.
