You should also ask for the "content that a sci.math'er had posted on
sci.math
the previous day". And check James posting history on google groups, where
he has found that Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is incorrect, has
found a serious error with the definition and use of algebraic integers, has
developed the world's newest prime number counter, and has shown the world
how to overcome the "factoring problem" (ar maybe not - maybe it is just the
world's most perfect random number generator).
James should be happy to provide the information. After all, he says he can
"prove it".
