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. -- Joe Buck | Entropic Processing, Inc. UUCP: {ucbvax,ihnp4}!dual!epicen!jbuck | 10011 N.
