Why Won't ET Accept Help?

Indeed. But it seems that he has since taken cover in his bunker and makes his all-too-frequent appearances using his current handle, which, of course, should have been Meathead.Quote from RCG Trader:
Nah, this explains gnomes history:
Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade
Guys like us we had it made
Those were the days
Regardless, I think ET has perpetrated a grave injustice. Arthur Deco is an inspired user name and one that I wish I had thought of myself. And then there is the matter of the soothing and therapeutic value of his posts. This madness must stop! I demand that the good doctor be risen from the ashes of the damned, and that his good (user) name be restored at once.Quote from Emil Kraepelin:
I think it was lack of respect for a sponsor.

I will pass your compliment on to him. But I think that he will say "Pah! Albert Cibiades is far more subtle!"
Several reasons. First off it pays the successful, way, way more than the average. I like that, I was hugely successful in a lot of ways in my technical career in the corporate environment but my pay was barely above average. Secondly it's a sort of a math problem, I like math problems, I'm good at math problems... and it's an interesting math problem to boot. What area will the solution be found in? Calculus, Fractal math, Geometry? It's a lot of territory to explore and it's exciting because unlike a Sudoku Puzzle it has a big monetary payoff to those that find a solution.... Thirdly, there are so many people around that say it cannot be done. I'm enjoying kicking back and giving them the big upraised middle digit salute... I'm a thug with a high math IQ, I like to tell them to shove their thinking so far up sideways that it blurs their vision...

Well spoke! For three decades I applied my not inconsiderable math skills to the problem without success. Then I went back to simple arithmetic. That worked.
