i'm new to this forum.
and from what i have seen, is that many ppl in here are helping other
ppl who have questions, so that these ppl with questions can move on
with their own work.
and also, i noted that those who help others in here do not ask for
anything in return.
then there is you.
from what i can tell, ( obviously from your postings) it occurs to me
that what you are interested in is copyrighting your ideas. which are
not all that comprehensible to begin with. i mean.. who can interpret
ascii version of mathematical notations!?!?! it takes lotta work to
interpret your posting, osher. and i really do not have time for that.
and note i'm not a statistician. i do not understand whatever it is
you are posting about.
but i do find it silly to abuse an open forum such as this to further
your personal agenda. ( whatever it is... it kinda alludes me at the
momemnt. what could you possibly expcet to gain by copyrighting little
usenet postings? i mean.. i have never seen anything like it. i
sincerely think you will benefit tremendously from uploading your
ideas to arxive.org. if they will accept it. from what i understand
it's an unreviewed archive? so they should... )
btw. i did receive much help from this forum from dr rubin as well dr
ulrich. and to see u attack ppl like that. and to see you lifting not
even a finger to help other in this forum.
kinda ironic how ppl in here do not appreciate your posts.
it's good though, we all appreciate those who tirelessly and
selflessly help others by answering questions, specially when they do
not have to. they do so out of professional courtesy and out of
teacher's instinct.
i know i certainly appreciate them.
regards
ames
PS. it's good to know you research 16 hrs a day. so do i. except i'm a
biologist learning about systems biology. i noticed a few others like
me in here as well as in other math foerums. you can tell by the
questions they ask. Bless them all. bio has coem to a pt where we have
to change way we do things. otherwise we will nto survive the next
decade.
i wonder if they will appreciate your posting as much as i appreciate
those of rubin and ulrich and coutless others.
in all fairness. this is a open forum. you are free to do as you wish.
