What's wrong with you? Juuso deserves credit for visibly raising the
level of discourse here and thanks to him, all of the regulars and
James have promised to behave civilly. Following the soiree this
evening, I expect that this new spirit of cooperation will result in
one of the most prolific periods of development in the history of
mathematics.

And here you are, pretending not to have seen James's new pledge of
civility. Worse, you make believe that you didn't swear fealty to
this new collaborative effort along with the rest of the regulars[1].

Sometimes I think you're just ornery or something. Give Juuso the
kudos he so richly deserves for creating a kinder, gentler sci.math,
dammit.

me crash at your place next time I'm in Stillwater.
