Feb 22, 2013 at 23:35 comment added user9072 I deleted several of my comments dating from last July as they meanwhile completely lack context. (The 'conversation' gets sort of destroyed but this feels not so necessary, too. If your really care thee is "back-up" on meta.)

Jul 2, 2012 at 20:41 comment added David Feldman Thanks for the advice, but for now I'll take my chances. Moderation is good for the site, but censorship isn't. So I think it would set a bad precedent now for me to fold pre-emptively.
Jul 2, 2012 at 20:39 comment added David Feldman >...some of the answers to alvarezpaiva's question would fit here (eg, normal numbers) Re normal numbers, I think not. Since one does not usually emphasize radix expansions in basic abstract algebra or real analysis and certainly one doesn't first meet such expansions at university, that question would not obviously have pedagogical value in the specified context. I mentioned Koethe's conjecture because as soon as the student has the definition of ring, ideal and left ideal a teacher can have this open problem ready to "trouble" those notions for the quickest students.
Jul 2, 2012 at 19:47 comment added Steven Gubkin In other words, delete now and re-ask in a month? I agree that this is the best strategy for David, if he wants the best answers (people are kind of exhausted of this sort of question now), but it seems strange to close it against his will.
