Twitter is more powerful than Usenet. Search on ANY search engine: jstevh Now re-think that position about only my friends. My tweets pop up in the weirdest places. It's a MUCH BIGGER effect than Usenet ever achieved. I can just think something, tweet it, and start seeing things move immediately. It's freaking bizarre. Twitter is actually kind of scary powerful. It is the most powerful leverage tool on planet earth. No one yet knows the full limits of Twitter. It is the most powerful thing out there right now. James Harris

Attacks currently are on the discrete log route which is NOT part of that paper. What's with you dweebs always wanting me to withdraw papers? Can't even you see--mindless though you often appear to be--how transparent that is? I'm arguing over areas not covered in the paper submitted to the Annals. The discrete log analysis is something that came after submission. James Harris

One study found (admittedly, it's a year old, but I've not seen any updates) that Twitter has a retention rate of around 40%. I have also seen many commentaries pointing out that Twitter's power is grossly overrated. > No one yet knows the full limits of Twitter. It is the most powerful > thing out there right now. What about Facebook? The number of Facebook users dwarfs the number of Twitter users by a very large ratio. As much as I might not personally like it, it is undeniably much more widespread than Twitter. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E. Knuth

Attacks > currently are on the discrete log route which is NOT part of that > paper. At the time of your submission, you hadn't heard of modular exponentiation, discrete logarithms or the chinese remainder theorem, instead claiming that your result was a new connection betwen residues and factoring, when in fact, via DLs, this was well known. > What's with you dweebs always wanting me to withdraw papers? We don't like to see you wasting the time of a professional reviewer. > Can't even you see--mindless though you often appear to be--how > transparent that is? No subterfuge, I assure you. Transparency is what this is all about. We do think that paper is rubbish, we do think it should be withdrawn, and we think it would be gracious of you to do so yourself rather than waiting for a reviwer to tell you that your work is old hat. > I'm arguing over areas not covered in the paper submitted to the > Annals.

Unfortunately, DLs are a fundamental part of your so-called "discovery", so in order for your paper to have any degree of academic honesty, you need to account for them properly, and show that what you have is indeed novel. As you have so far failed to do so, the alternative is to withdraw. M -- Mark "No Nickname" Murray Notable nebbish, extreme generalist.
