Why would I do that? My mathematical proofs are rather direct and clear using primarily elementary mathematics. The resistance to them then is not about rationality. Human beings when pushed hard enough can react violently. Right now American mathematicians read these newsgroups I believe relying on people like you, hoping they are safe based on your responses. That keeps them from potentially turning to other means. So yes, what you believe in THAT sense might have an impact on them. But you see, if they do rely on you and posters like you then they are limited by your behavior, and I understand your behavior. They don't. You don't rely on facts nor do you nor any of the others have any particular insight into how well my ideas are progressing around the world. I never needed just American or British mathematicians and it may be safer without them. It's a big world. And my research can advance that world--leaving others behind. What would motivate me to help people who not only are stupid enough to fight mathematics, they rely on USENET posters for their sense of how well that is going? Of course I use you. I tell you I use you. You simply never seem clear on how much. So then, why would I show you any evidence that would convince you of anything at all? James Harris

I'm having a crisis of identity now ;-) I'm the same Penny Hassett who wrote, for example, http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sci.math/browse_thread/thread/7b7afa5bafec2f71/b9abff9ce74a0353 in 2003 but the ISP 'dabsol' went belly-up and I had to change. Do you suspect that the Penny Hassett who writes on this newsgroup is different to the one who has occasionally replied to your blog?

I should have restricted my reference to MichaelW and left you out of it. The references to literature came from this article: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math/msg/d07daf82d9238778 Perhaps I should have credited Socrates instead? ;-) M -- Mark "No Nickname" Murray Notable nebbish, extreme generalist.
