If you were a world figure, why would you have to claim to be one?

Can you name two world figures who have publicly claimed
to be world figures?

I notice that you consistently refer to Mark Murray as
"the poster 'Mark Murray'" or "the 'Mark Murray' poster."

Rather, your belief that he's expressed an opinion on this
issue is a necessary part of yours. Ordinarily I would
suggest that you review the thread for direct evidence of
the fact that he hasn't expressed an opinion, and has
even explicitly declined to do so. But as a world figure
I don't expect you have the time.

I'm not certain whether you're a world figure or not, but
I do have objective evidence that you're not among the
top ten most famous people named "James Harris."
In fact, you're not even in the top three most famous
people named "James S. Harris".

Stanford EE professor James S. Harris, the infamous
would-be XBox thief James S. Harris, and the R&B
producer James "Jimmy Jam" S. Harris all come up
higher on a Google search for "James S. Harris" than
you do.

Interestingly, the first hit that refers to you comes
to us courtesy of a web-enabled Dissociated Press
of your usenet posts.

Thus your fame, whatever it may be, is derived
first and foremost from the efforts of your #1 fan:
the "Jesse Hughes" poster.

Exactly. I'm not making a claim.

There probably are some, but I can't think of any off-hand.

Mathematicians have given me the time. Denial of mathematical proofs
can do that to a guy.

Thankfully.

Oh, you're luckier than I am. First hit I get is to that Crank.net
page slamming me.

Searches vary around the world.

Context was that I was trying to clue someone in on the circus that is
sci.math where part of the draw is the entertainment. I've already
noted that I pull people from 100+ countries on an annual basis.

Dude was posting like he thought I was some local nobody phenomenon,
when he's in England.

But I mean, like months ago--yes, sad that I remember but it was
bizarre--when I noted that I was biggest in England in terms of hit
count to my math blog, and London is my top city according to Google
Analytics, he posted that *HE* visited a lot!!!

As if all those visits were just him.

So I named off English cities like all over the place, as it was kind
of weird.

Hey, this Usenet and Internet thing is just so wild, so new and so
weird, that at times I try to put out more info than just use
someone. Which is why I say I use Usenet.

I think most posters know, right? Come on, when I post regularly it
warps the entire freaking newsgroup for a while. No one else can do
the same. Sure they can spam the place, but I just dominate it,
easily.

But posters reply to me like, well, like they don't have a clue! And
I think they're in on the game but the "Mark Murray" guy, and yeah I
like using quotes as you don't necessarily have the person's name,
seemed to be particularly clueless, but maybe was just playing? So I
make the effort.

Why I'm getting so many hits from London is a mystery to me.

But think about it--I'm in an argument about being a world figure when
I live in San Francisco and one of the people in the debate is in
freaking England, and who knows where in the hell you are.

I also seem to have a little crew from Finland--according to Google
Analytics.

My websites get hits from roughly 30+ countries every 7 days according
to multiple sources which is a count that includes downloads of my
open source project Class Viewer.

That's every week.

Last year--121 countries/territories according to Google Analytics, to
just my math blog.

I post on Usenet to talk things out and partly as I get entertaining
people who will argue with me. Yet a single news story ever comes
out? And they'll fade like ghosts.

So I'm shooting the gap. Years from now I'll probably beg people to
have an actual discussion with me without them just agreeing with
everything I say.

Fame can really suck. I've read a lot up on it. I check out the
stories. People change on you. And you change.

Before all that I get to argue with funny people who can't grasp that
I'm a world figure--whatever that freaking means in an Internet Age.

Good question! We should all be able to recognize that fact, one would
think.

Why?
