It has nothing to do with Math Forum.  You posted
your original
article using Google Groups, and William read it
using Giganews.

The problem is your Macintosh.

Good point,thanks. It is like a DNA investigation by a detective!

Yes I write on Mac.

You are welcome to join the newsgroup.
Dr.M.Basti

PS:Yes Generraly I will not post here, I will post it on my site, but
sometimes I need to respond and invite you to my site.

*Good move* Dr. Basti. Do you even _realize_ you have just invited to your site
a person who's making fun of you with his/her signature?

Sigh... Something is very very wrong here. I am beginning to suspect Dr.. Basti
is a bot ;o)

If he's a bot, he passes the Turing Test!

There's a reason why Basti no longer requires a fee to
join his Google Group.

There's a reason his "contract" was watered down in regards
to the personal information he "needs".

There's a reason why Basti is now bragging about articles
posted by new members.

Of course, the reason is that he's been talking to a sock puppet.

Programming your bot to be thick is a LOT harder than programming
it to be smart.

Basti balked at making the sock puppet a group manager, but I
expect that's just a matter of time.

Who you callin' a sock puppet?
