 Kalki, you've never *posted* your argument. At best, you've given a pointer
to a place where we can shell out $10.00 for a copy. I am a dirt-poor
grad student who is having trouble getting enough money for food. I can't
afford to buy my brother a birthday present.
 Do you have special student deal or something?
 Any word on getting permision to serialize this proof?
 Any chance you might paraphrase it? Post a table of contents? Quote key
paragraphs? Do something more than say, "We really think this is unlikely,
and you should too, but we won't tell you why?"
 Is the author on the net? Can we get his email address and ask him about it
personally?
