| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:52 | comment | added | Larry Freeman | Thanks, Gerhard! I really appreciate the explanation! :-) | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:42 | comment | added | Larry Freeman | Harpo, I hope that's better. I really appreciate your answer and your logic! I am a math amateur and I greatly value the information that I receive from experts such as yourself on this wonderful web site! | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:42 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | If you keep your comments around long enough to be assimilated properly, you may get the desired result. (I think you posting your own answer would be more efficient. Oh well.) Larry is determined to understand, and in his view your comment now gone was incomplete to him. Since he posed the question, his view matters. Even if he does not have the chops yet to finish the argument properly, I applaud him for trying, and for making clear which part was yours and which wasn't. Let's hope Larry's good nature is above your and my quibbling. Gerhard "Say Hi To Groucho Too" Paseman, 2012.09.09 | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:40 | comment | added | Larry Freeman | I will do as you ask. I will remove your name. I meant no insult. Apologies. I really appreciated your comment about the Thue Equation! That was exactly the guidance I was looking for. :-) | |

Harpo Marx requested that I remove all mention of him.

| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:28 | comment | added | Larry Freeman | Hi Harpo, I meant no insult. You changed your name two times today. I thought your answer was brilliant. I willl change the user 61 to Harpo Marx immediately. Apologies. -Larry | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:27 | comment | added | Larry Freeman | Thanks! I just read the link. It looks great: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormer%27s_theorem I'll start reading up on Stormer's Theorem to better understand it! | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 4:23 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Clearly your notion of being insulted differs from my notion,and likely differs from commonly accepted notions as well. I think he showed respect by referring to you by number. If that offends you, he might resort to something more oblique. Were I in a situation similar to Larry's, I might insult you further.

| Sep 10, 2012 at 3:55 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | You might prefer Lehmer's rewrite of Stormer's result. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Stormer's Theorem. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2012.09.09 | |
