Why? If I did that there would no cause to make a conjecture.
*****GK: They might verify your conjecture if by conjecture you mean "supposition" or "prognostication". I can't see any other reason why anyone on this list would be interested in your conjectures. Of course, your responses seem to intimate that you have adopted a somewhat different meaning. Either conjecture as "divination" or as "inference from defective evidence".****

No, it's undecided.
****GK: You mean you don't even know what you mean by the term? Not surprising, really.****

That's the definition of a conjecture.
****GK: Thank you for explaining what "conjecture" means to you. Prejudiced nonsense.****

I'm afraid I don't know any Hungarian. But you are welcome to write and ask them so we can find out whether my conjecture is true or not, in which case of course it ceases to be a conjecture.
****GK: You don't seem to understand that you're not even in the ballpark with that attitude.****

Now George is getting abusive again.
****GK: Just calling them as they are. Intellectual refuse should always be recognized as such.****

Maybe George has an allergy?
****GK: You mean " a feeling of antipathy or repugnance" to kooks? Guilty I'm afraid.****

Thank you. And a happy censorship to you.
Torsten
****GK: You think responding to kooks is "censorship"? (=:)))) OK I'll stop my active "censoring". It's clearly a waste of time anyway.****
