Usenet gives a lot of freedoms cheaply, but a lot of this case now is
about public statements made on Usenet and what impact they may have
had.
I can put a dollar amount on that and then consider civil litigation
options.
What I have is mathematical research easily shown to be different than
what was known before, like my prime counting function while similar to
previous results is a multi-dimensional one that leads to a partial
differential equation.
So, say that is put in front of a jury in a civil litigation and what
is your defense?
Mathematicians on trial in front of ordinary citizens asked to look at
some mathematics that counts primes, where I can not only take some of
you posting on Usenet to court, but journal editors as well.
And there is the possibility of court ordered turning over of who made
postings anonymously or using pseudonyms, as well as the possibility of
an international turn to this thing with a team of attorneys going
after posters and journals in other countries.

You've been making these threats for years. When are you going to get
round to making it happen? Frankly I could do with some excitement in
my life.

If this actually came to court they wouldn't just take your word
for the originality. They'd want expert witnesses.
And of course the only expert witnesses would be mathematicians...
Oh well, guess you're screwed.

JSH is just one man. Therefore, it's more common nowadays for the
replies to be a lot more clever and entertaining than his original
posts.

Nobody will contest your claim that your "reasoning" is
dfferent from what anyone has ever used as logic before.

That is what we in the trade call a "non sequitur".

Journal editors? So, the "Annals" told you to get lost *again*, eh?

Journal editors? Like the ones who have rejected your latest crock of
sh--, er, I mean paper?
