No doubt. I'm just horribly ignorant of that part of the world, being Africa- and Europe-centric. This doesn't mean you guys haven't done your bit, it just means I don't know about it. Looks I have have a topic to add to my reading list :-). M -- Mark "No Nickname" Murray Notable nebbish, extreme generalist.

That's because you don't understand how the internet works. Only world figures get spammed in Chinese. -- John Roberts-Jones

But if I were a world figure, why would I have to persuade anyone that it is true? Why would anyone try such a thing? The context was that the poster "Mark Murray" appealed to the crowd about his arguing on prime gaps, and I noted that he WAS the entertainment and he was naive to think that posters really were lined up to help him even when he was dreadfully wrong, and noted that I'm a world figure for a reason. I was trying to get him to look behind the curtain behind the show that is sci.math and some of the things that go on here that drive a LOT of reader's interest. My point being that posters like you and him ARE the entertainment. And your befuddled lack of awareness of that is entertaining as well. So why do you think you're in the position of demanding anything? Even if I could provide you evidence that would satisfy whatever notion percolates in your brain for the phrase "world figure" I'd be going further out of my way to release a foil. You ARE the entertainment. Your belief that I'm not a world figure is a necessary part of your behavior. James Harris
