Those "math people" are correct.

Hey, I can factor RSA numbers, if I just had a way of picking the factors!

Yup, they don't care much.

Ooooops. I hope that Andrew does not look up any of your old posts where you
said nasty things about his FLT proof being invalid. After all, he is a
mathematician, and according to you social offence would clearly be a big
deal to him. If your paper never gets published at the Annals, I bet that
would be the reason.... you just pissed him off too much.

Good... I know that I could not deal with it.

James... you are such an uber-idiot.
