[QUOTE=ewmayer;338886]Hey, look at the bright side: At least Bob's pompous puffery comes without Youtube link-spam accompaniment.

Bob, if you find yourself using ALL-CAPS and [B]LOUD BOLDFACE[/B] as frequently as above, may I suggest it's time to (once again) take a deep breath, and remind yourself that most of our participants - including George and me, among others - are amateurs with respect to the field of number theory?

And yes, that includes no small number of willful ignoramuses, but methinks you often apply that label to anyone not willing to drop everything else right this instant and spend a year-long sabbatical studying your collected papers.

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to be here.[/QUOTE]

I agree with klander, RD *is* exceptional in his field, but some of us excel in other things. I spent 20 years in the Navy working on Aviation Electronics, I intimately know the workings of radars, inertial nav units, short, medium and long range communication as well as a host of things I cannot talk about. I am far from ignorant, but I am uneducated in certain areas. [I][U]We all are[/U][/I]. At the same time, none of us can turn back the time dial 40 years and choose a different education path.

I'd hate to be his doctor and accidentally ask a math question of him.......
