- What puzzles me is the complete silence of Gismondi and Swart in this thread.
- From the potential winners of the next Turing award, who knows
- maybe the field medal, I expect some interest in getting the proofs debugged.
- Of course all of this discussion might have occured off-line but somehow I
- doubt it.
-
- So how about it Swart? Why not put your mouth where your money is.
