JSH: Brainstorming over, for now

Ok, I've finished brainstorming on the SFT and how to best present it.

It's been a VERY useful few days as most importantly I've managed to
air out my paranoia about the dangers of this research, and communicate
loud and clear I hope, so that the people who are supposed to pay
attention to problem areas assuredly noticed!

Which makes me feel a little silly for being worried--as nothing has
happened--but then again, how do you know if you don't check?

My fears about working on the factoring problem go back for YEARS and
have affected a lot of things for me, so it's a tremendous relief to be
here now with what I feel is a major result, and it looks like
everything is fine.

No worries.

Things get a lot more boring from here for the rest of you, as there's
less need for me to talk anything out, as I think I've learned what I
needed to know, and a lot less interest on my part in this subject
area anyway, as I'm getting that been there done that feeling.

Extreme mathematics is about the extreme--pushing limits and the
envelope.

Maybe I burned myself out ahead of time on factoring, worrying about it
so much, but now it just seems like so much old hat.

Of course, papers to be sent off, but I have a backlog now. I've been
sitting on papers versus working them out to be sent off, as it's all
just kind of tedious and annoying--the social crap.

In any event, the world is still here. The economy didn't crash, and
I'm feeling stupid but giddy.

Sometimes fears are just uncalled for, and unnecessary, but you have
them anyway.
