Mathematicians work with numbers (Algebra is a abstraction of numerical

just characters commonly used to represent numbers )
therefore even trying to rationalise any string representation with
mathematics is a logical absurdity in itself.
Don't bother responding to jmf; he doesn't listen. Also, his posts don't
survive the jump to python-list, so we see them only when someone quotes
him like that... as far as I'm concerned, his posts are now on par with
those trying to sell us solution manuals or herbal remedies.

As you don't see them unless someone replies I will make sure I don't
reply to any more of his posts.
I would not want to inflict this nonsense on someone who would otherwise
be spared.
Thank you, as it saves me from once again losing it in public when his
latest incarnation of complete dross appears. Two years he's been at
it, I wonder how he manages to avoid "Sent to jail. Do not pass Go. Do
not collect £200" or where he gets his supply of "Get out of jail free"
cards from?
