Many of us who were involved in the creation or maintenance of the original math pages agreed on Facebook recently that some of these pages should be protected. We are talking about the hardcore math ones that most users don't understand anyway, and shouldn't be playing with unless they get the material and are on the same wavelength as the people who originally created those pages. This is because as several of the original authors have sadly passed away (notably Gene Ward Smith) and the rest of us have been too busy to monitor for changes recently. | Many of us who were involved in the creation or maintenance of the original math pages agreed on Facebook recently that some of these pages should be protected.

:: Given Mike's support for our latest, I'm ''sure'' this was intended as praise by Mike (as well as a valid warning re terminology). But I ''suppose'' it could be read as discouraging readers rather than encouraging them as I think was its intention. I don't mind if it stays or goes. Or maybe Mike can rewrite it to avoid that reading. -- Dave | :: Given Mike's support for our latest, I'm ''sure'' this was intended as praise by Mike (as well as a valid warning re terminology).
