Here's an amusing exchange from the AENG thread, a place where emotions frequently run high. Quite a number of sceptics there, which makes the hypesters nervous. Auric Goldfinger is one of th sceptics (some would call him an Evil Basher): exchange2000.com David Travis is a broker-dealer who was recently received a 20-day suspension from the SEC: exchange2000.com The debate continues: exchange2000.com exchange2000.com exchange2000.com exchange2000.com Travis ups the ante: exchange2000.com exchange2000.com But does Trav done some very bad DD? exchange2000.com exchange2000.com exchange2000.com And it's not over yet: stay tuned...

Steve, Would ''The "Get a Life" factor'' apply to the budding numerologists who seem to have nothing better to do than sit around making 20 or 30 posts trying to get magic numbers. If so, there are a few on this thread who could be nominated :-) You know who you are! Besides, by concentrating on patterns and zeroes they are missing the really interesting numbers like: 1444 - Sure its a triple, but its also the smallest perfect square that ends in three "4"s. 3141 - The first four digits of pi 1987 - The smallest four digit prime number with digits in a cylic descending, consecutive order. 969 - Methuselas age according to Genisis. Also the 17th tetrahedral number (i.e., with 969 cannon balls you could build a pyramid with 17 balls on each edge). 666 - The sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel. 25, 76, 625, 376, 9376 - Are all automorphic numbers. An automorphic number is a number that reappears at the tail and of its square (i.e, 2525 = 625, 7676 = 576 ...). 2467 - the 365th prime number .... 54748 - This number = the sum of the 5th powers of its digits (i.e., 5^5 + 4^5 + 7^5 + 4^5 + 8^5). I looks like maybe I should get a life too. Regards John Sladek
