No, actually that doesn't bother me a bit. And no, I'm not
Wilma. (Actually when she first appeared with her proof of
FLT that looked a lot like yours I assumed she was you, the
idea being that if we saw the proof but didn't realize it was
from you we'd read it, realize it was right, and then you'd
reveal the truth.)

"The game" indeed. I recall the incident you refer to. I don't
recall the details. But I do recall that the "game" you were
playing was such that it seemed to me a perfectly appropriate
reply would be some sort of racial slur - someone talked
me out of that.

Like you referred to me as your lap dog or something. Boy
was I mad about that.

"The game" indeed.
