(1) You're right -- he posted to the wrong list. I've since suggested he post to the local Seattle Sage list, and he has done so, and got some interest. (2) I think your remark about being insulted is misplaced. The person posting (Kevin) is a very enthusiastic and definitely well meaning undergraduate who genuinely loves mathematics. He just doesn't have much money. Your remark would only make sense if you thought that he was some professional engineer or something, so as clarification -- he isn't (yet). -- William -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
