Couple of months have passed since I posted that some of you had just a
few more months left.

Still hoping?

I'll admit that I have been thinking to myself that maybe talking a lot
about the Annals of Mathematics having my paper isn't the best idea.

I mean, maybe they'll not like that, and reject my paper just for me
being a big mouth.

Um, yeah, so a correct math paper with major implications would get
rejected because I talked to a few yahoo's on Usenet?

Are you people that important?

So yeah, they still have the paper. After the four month point I think
I'd start getting a feeling of certainty that it'd get accepted.

It's still early.

I might get some rejection Monday, you know?

But for now, it's still under review.

Are you still hoping? Are you some silly person who is wishing instead
of believing in mathematics? Or do you believe that you understand
math society and that what's true doesn't matter?

Posters rejected my work outright more than once, calling it names, and
acting as if no one would pay attention to it, but Princeton still has
it.

Any of you ready to start talking down the Annals?

Are any of you ready to proclaim your great intellectual superiority to
that journal, which has a paper of mine for now over three months that
many of you would loudly proclaim as just total crap not worth
considering?

Anybody? Anybody?

Step up to the plate. Make your declaration here on Usenet. Show how
brave you are.

And, make no mistake, I have no problem with some of you setting
yourselves up for some of the worst days of your lives.

Go ahead, make my day.
