 |
|
Now that I'm winding down from new math research I'm focusing more on
side details like measuring the impact of posts on the newsgroups on
things like statistics of hit counts on my math blog, and I thought it
worth sharing some of the information.
For instance, in the past 6 months according to Google Analytics my
math blog has hits from 80 countries, though the bulk of the hits come
from Great Britain, with the city giving the most hits being London.
According to Google Analytics, the hits coming from what I'll call
hostile sources, being the crank.net website and newsgroups through
groups.google.com are 10.12% of the total, where crank.net has 6.02%
and groups.google.com has 4.10% which is invaluable information to me
because it has shown me that hostile posts here have nominal impact in
terms of actually driving people from links on negative sources to my
math blog.
Which is why I'm posting as I think it's a hoot.
Hostile posters who I've seen at times making it a point to link to
negative sites have had a nominal impact based on the evidence I have
available, and thankfully, crank.net is a non-force in terms of hit
counts.
The hate page is not getting the attention I'm sure it's creator
intended, so now it's more of a humorous thing to me to note that and
consider what it means about the Internet and how interest is drawn or
not drawn by particular tactics.
On a side note, I continue to use search results from the major search
engines to gain some sense of my overall worldwide influence, and as
it has every year, it is growing.
I now consider the academic journal process to be irrelevant to my
needs and it is no longer necessary for me to even consider
publication in any math journal at any level.
I can simply go direct, publishing as I choose, what I choose, when I
choose.

So you're calling people you don't know in 80 countries robots? And
especially insulting people from London, England who make up the bulk
of the hits according to Google Analytics?
Got something against people from London?
Humor aside, it is amazing to me how facts have no impact on certain
newsgroup posters, and I'll admit that a lot of my gratification with
statistics is in learning that the impact of those certain types of
people is negligible.
I guess most people do care about facts.

As well as the impact of a thread in e.g. 'sci.math' is expected to be
inversely proportional to the value of its content.

Just curious: What makes you so certain the hits other than from
the sources you cite as "hostile" are from people who are doing
something other than rolling on the floor laughing?

So does a lot of math society...
You people don't get it yet, eh?
I go around you, and over time prove to people I'm right, then it's
not just fun and games in math academia any more.
And now I can go around you.
That's the message.
Yes, it's taking a little time, but if in a couple of years it's over,
then what?
When you can't publish the same old stuff through the same old
channels. When the Internet is chasing down every bit of wrong math
that mathematicians push--no matter what their degree or their status
in the community.
When the funding, stops.
Remember, my end goal is the same: remove your public financing.
Then you can come here and chatter all you want, but you will not be
paid with taxpayer dollars and I don't care if you believe it or not,
but the message to undergrads is, you may get your degree, get into a
great program and find you do not have any money.
Some of you may graduate just in time to have no money available.

You're like those apocalyptic preachers who rant about how the earth |
will end on Tuesday and then they're back out there next Friday with
the same crap. You've "preached" about all of these terrible things
that will happen, and which of them has come true so far??? Or should
I ask, has a single one of them come true so far? Since you record is
absolutely nill, you'll have to excuse me if I'm not exactly trembling
in my boots. (Although I have to admit I like the "I go around you"
mantra, James. It's somewhat reminiscent of that line "I drink your
milkshake" from "There will be blood".)

They can still publish the same way you publish your crap: online. |
See, it works both ways Jimmy.
But I *was* surprised to learn that "the Internet" is going to track
down the *bad math*. Who will these "people of the Internet" be? Can't
be mathematicians, they're the "bad guys". But then who could
understand the math enough to know what was wrong and what was right?
And then they're going to go through all of the journals. My, my, that
will take a bit of time, won't it? (Do you have any idea of how long
it takes to review ONE paper James? No, of course you don't.) Duh...

You conveniently forget that colleges still need math teachers: that's |
public funding. Mathematicians will always be employed James. Face it,
you lose. All you have are your crack pipe dreams.
