To all on sci.math who respond to JSH threads...

Recent threads launched by JSH are re-hashes of ideas long discounted
or shown to be already discovered. It is therefore proposed that a
centralised moderated collection of articles be put together that can
be referred to so that newcomers don't have to re-invent the wheel, so
to speak. All articles will be maths only.

Your choices in the poll are one of the following:

FAQ
Wiki
blogspot
Nothing
Other (please specify)

Moderation should be at least two people so if you want to put your
hand up to assist then let me know that as well.

Thank you for your time.

It's nice to see that JSH has attracted a new generation of
fans/addicts. He's been going on like this for about fifteen years. For
some reason his stuff is weirdly compelling. When he takes periodic
vacations from posting, people miss him.

He's got his own page at crank.net, http://www.crank.net/harris.html

You might consider reading through that material before starting yet
another fan site.

Thankyou fishfry. The crank.net page only discusses his FLT proof. We
now have TSP, core error, prime gap, factorisation/quadratic residues/
Pell's equation, BQDE, prime counting continuous function, definition
of proof, spherical packing, the object ring and more.

The problem with crank.net is (1) we ourselves do not have control
over the content and (2) it is not being updated very frequently these
days.

Nevertheless do you want to be put down for Other(crank.net) as your
vote?

Regards, Michael W.

No thanks. I no longer pay attention to JSH. From a sociological point
of view, I'm more interested in observing the JSH addicts :-)

Actually my own theory is that someday, after the collapse of
civilization, there will only be fragmentary bits and pieces of the
Internet available to archeologists. They will come across the writings
of JSH and conclude that he was the leading mathematician of the age.
