Thomas - As an engineer, I'd always used and enjoyed mathematics as a fundamental tool for just about all aspects of any engineering analysis, but couldn't see any point in spending endless hours doing math just for math's sake. After spending time with Joe Horn at PPC meetings, he introduced me to basic aspects of number theory; mostly as reasons to write programs, but eventually for it's own sake. So while I certainly have no background in much of the math you guys do here, I've at least opened my mind enough to be curious about it, and every now and then, I learn something. So bay all means, please continue, even if it feels like you may be losing the crowd. You never know when the silent audience is learning...
