Whoah! That's a real blow below the belt. I am anxiously awaiting replies from the mathematicians, but shouldn't this be in the Philofractal list?.

Perhaps, but Jim would probably complain that it's not "irrationally mystical" enough. It's the Philofractal list after all, not the "scientifractal" one.
This topic *should* be on the philofractal list, but I suspect that Morgan no longer subscribes to that list. Can't take irrationality and mysticism, I assume.
Well, let's put it this way: if the reason put about why physicists don't accept with great joy the unsubstantiated say-so of a Baltimore artisan is because they're too chicken ("maybe ... serious scientists would never tackle the problem for fear of being labelled soft on mysticism."), then I have to say I left the Philofractal list to get away from such petty dross. It's a shame you can't write two emails instead of one more often. Morgan L. Owens "You assume way too much. That's part of your problem."
