Well I read the page, and no, I won't discuss it publicly.
I'm curious though as to what it is that makes it unsuitable
for public discussion.

Oh, nothing profound. I guess I just don't like to needlessly flaunt personal
information about what I know in this forum. Many people know me here over many
years and several professional high caliber mathematicians in this forum (who
have helped even withtetration) know roughly 10^^10 times more math than I do,
so me going into endless tirades about my own achievements will likely make them
puke.


Heh. I don't think it's good for _anyone_, no matter how much math
they know, to endlessly flaunt their stuff like crazy as then it is no
longer a humble pursuit of knowledge, but an ego game (hardball.).

The characteristic of true wisdom (in anything) is silence and modesty. Most
serious work throughout the ages has been done in silence and with modesty. And
I like that.


Mmmhm.

Just curiousity, and I'll respect
your wishes. Perhaps you could send me an email instead?
(which is private?)

No problem. Feel free to contact me off list, if you wish. My email is listed on
the "About" section, but be warned in advance that I can construct and send
dangerous tetration functions which may cause you to fall off your chair from
laughing :-)
