will leave you and you will feel fine again. I feel fine. Some people, like yourself and Steven
Johnson, yell at me, and I listen to the arguments, not to the yelling. The yelling only makes it more difficult to understand the arguments. My success is that I make a good well-formulated positive contribution, not that it stays in WP forever. Some of my contributions remains, but others were deleted by editors who disagree or who haven't heard about it before and therefore think that it is new or nonstandard. I regard this behavior negative, but it is outside my control, and I am relaxed about it. I advice you to take the same attitude. Be careful to write well. Read what you read before you submit it, so that you do not have to regret it in public, and so that you do not contradict yourself. Don't complain that you are wasting your time, because that is your problem and nobody elses. You alone are responsible for how you use your time. Be focused on the goal, 'to make a great encyclopedia', and refrain from talking about persons. This was my piece of advice to you. My success is that it is well formulated, not that you take it, which is outside my control. Have a nice day.
270:, but it's a commercial product (though it comes bundled with Mac OS X) and I'm a big free software fan. My usual method with gnuplot is to create the graphic as a postscript file, then view it as large as possible on my screen, take a screenshot (so at this point it's nicely antialiased) and then, usually, reduce the scale to make it look extra smooth. I've been pretty happy with the results. The only downside is then it's a bitmap, and the pro-SVG crowd gets on my case. As soon as someone comes up with a nice PS to SVG converter that I can use (on a mac) I'll do that. At the moment, that conversion is a pain, at best.

Well, I applaud your patience and restraint. It offends my sense of justice to see four or five people on the attack like that. The whole situation arose because of an apparent misunderstanding of what consensus allows people to do, and the irony is that the same "consensus" is being used to impugn

Thanks for your comment of support on my talk page, but I don't think it's actually a big deal there.

I agree to your last comment. I forgot that symplectic forms are usualy required to exist globally. The geometric condition behind, the non-degenerate condition, is a local condition. In contact geometry, the contact condition - nonintegrability of a hyperplane field - is a local one. If you require

Well, VP, I was going to leave a comment re the "piling on" accusation only to come here and find further dissembling on the part of an admin, and a rather bizarre read on the actual issue. Has truth no value any more? Has the value of answering honestly-put questions in order to assist others in

Hi VectorPosse. You have been frustrated by me. There is no need for that. WP is a place where you are welcome to contribute, but you do not have control. It is the desire for control that makes you frustrated or perhaps even angry. When you accept that you do not have control, then the bad feeling
