@vzn: I'm sorry you feel that way. But okay.
@AméricoTavares It seems they were already taken down
oh, I see, @anorton did that already (good!)
@AméricoTavares I have no good explanation for this, but the only way to get latex to render in comments (it seems) is to use displaymath $$ (math) $$, or the latex-style \( math \) for inline or \[ math \] for display

I really have no idea why that is the case
@anorton: I should have checked before, but did I answer your previous concern adequately?
 
@mixedmath Yes. Thank you very much. :)
 
I happened across your google plus page, and I noticed you were wearing Eagle Scout regalia
congratulations
(be it old or not)
 
Thanks! (It's about a year old... I just don't get around to changing my profile pic often.)
 
scouting was a big part of my teenage years, and I still talk about it sometimes today
 
It certainly was an informative experience for me...

some new scout badges related to coding/robotics.
did you know that AN? right down your alley?
thinking of blogging on that sometime :\
fyi this guy, se codegolf mod, mentioned in chat once he's a scout. strangely, seems no mention in any of his profiles (se/personal blog etc).
think there are prob a lot of scouts se-wide...
hmmm, poking around... surprised this area51 proposal is so quiet...

Boy Scouts of America

Proposed Q&A site for anyone who is interested in learning about the Boy Scouts of America. Whether you are already a member or are just looking for answers to questions before making the decision to join, you are welcome here!

Currently in definition.

huh, look at that they also have math-related badge(s).

Do we have any knowledge regarding when we will be able to see viewer stats? (I know we should be able to eventually, I just was wondering when "eventually" would come.) Just curious...

A question about blog post categories. Is the idea that the category "expository" will be used, only when the blog post is, for example a recent result. Say, somebody explaining Zhang's work on the twin prime conjecture (what he prove, why he succeeded where others had failed and such), or a deep concept? Or can we use it with a low level post aiming to explain a simple application (such as in my post-to-be). May be I should stop worrying about this and leave categorizing to the editors :-)

@JyrkiLahtonen As for the style, I enjoyed reading it
 
7:35 PM
Thanks, Leo. I appreciate you reading it. Writing informal/non-rigorous math has some pitfalls, and I welcome all suggestions. I just added subtitles. I guess I will go through it once more tomorrow.
I think that Norbert's bit should be published before mine. It is probably better to get somewhat deeper material out there for a change.

yes, I want to post something too, I'm waiting to see some other posts to get some tips. Is Norbert's post available somewhere for reading?

@leo: I thought that you were an editor, and could read everything, but then it dawned on me that you only have access to that 1st draft I gave the link to. No, you cannot read Norbert's story yet. Nor can I. You need editor/admin rights to see it.
