Net.math has had a high volume of inappropriate postings lately. There seem
to be three main areas:
1) Is the mind representable as a computer? This started legitimately enough,
as a discussion of Godel's Theorem and its implications. The current
discussion has very little to do with math; please post it only to
net.philosophy. You might add net.ai to get more interested people involved.
2) Traveling polar bears. This is what net.puzzle is for. I know that a lot
of net.math people like puzzles, but they read net.puzzle as well. In
fact, many of the articles were cross-posted to net.puzzle.
3) Neural nets. This belongs in net.arch (computer architecture), and maybe
net.cog-eng (cognitive engineering) or net.ai.
There's a reason to use the right group. You're likely to get a better
discussion started.
Let's have more math in net.math. Sorry there's not more math in this
article.
