Let's see. They must have known this because you've been posting
to sci.math for maybe twn years, and every single thing you've
said about mathematics has been either trivial or false.

Got it.

I wondered if they hated the world, but have decided that they believed
in MAD:

Mutual Assured Destruction

That is, I think they figured that I just wouldn't do it, as they
figured I'd get taken out along with them.

But I am a discoverer, of a long line of discoverers, without whom
history would not be as it is.

I had no choice. There was never a question of whether or not I would
put up the factoring solution eventually, if I saw no other way.

It was only a question of when.

Uh, wait. Didn't you just state elsewhere that the method you
posted _doesn't work_?

I know you know that it _must_ be right, but given that it
actually doesn't work I don't think anybody's worried about
the end of the world just yet.
