May 30, 2017 at 21:02 comment added Todd Trimble @DanFlath Welcome to MO, Professor Flath. I converted your answer to a comment; we are pretty strict around here about reserving answer boxes for responses that directly answer the question. One you gain 50 points of "reputation", you can leave comments on any post.
May 30, 2017 at 20:19 comment added Dan Flath I remember my advisor, John Tate, telling me back in the 1970s that Lie Algebras was the perfect topic of a series of Bourbaki books, unlike algebraic geometry which is far too vast.
May 29, 2016 at 23:25 comment added Todd Trimble I think it's the exceptional general interest of the question which is crucial. If the question and answer did not have that character -- as if the author were talking to him/herself -- the reception could be different.

Mar 20, 2015 at 10:00 comment added jmc By the way, I think this is an awesome example of answering your own question in one go. We don't see that much on MO, and I think that is fine. But in this case: well done!
