Which means nothing.
Come back when they've been published.
My work on FLT is off the table.
It will stay off the table.
You people can grind your wheels all you want thinking about the past.
Magidin and McKinnon are probably causing laughter in certain circles.
You people really do not understand how things work because you've been
deluded into thinking that your little world on sci.math is bigger than it
is.
It's not.
