Jim, is it possible that an amazing polymath such as yourself does not recognize the teaser associated with Fermat's last theorem?
Perhaps on Choate Prime, a parallel planet similar to ours in many respects, but differing in certain fundamental physical and mathematical laws, Fermat never wrote his famous comment in the margin of the book. Unlikely, you may say, but no more unlikely than having the fundamental structure of complexity itself illuminated for us by a civil servant working for the Social Security Administration, in his spare time. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Spam. Speaking of Spam, I created a Yahoo mail account, and subscribed it to minder. Yahoo's SpamGuard(tm) does a pretty good job of filtering most of the drek into the bulk mail folder, with no false positives. Nigerian banking letters, and occasional other legitimate-at-first-glance things still make into regular mail, but the spew of Viagra/Penis Enlargement/You're PRe-Approved!/Watch me massage my twat on the Web/Hot teens with farm animals!! posts is largely abated. Posts from Choate Prime can also be filtered into a separate folder for later enjoyment. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
