Re: [math-fun] gerrymandering measures
Dear Math Fun, Thanks to everyone who responded. I have passed along the responses to the friend who asked me the question. Neil
Dear Neil, I hope all is well with you. I just want to say that when I post to math-fun, I would like to be asked specifically before my post is passed on to any other party (or venue). Sorry if this seems unnecessarily fussy, but that's how I feel about it. Many thanks, Dan On Jun 23, 2014, at 5:51 PM, Neil Sloane <njasloane@gmail.com> wrote:

Dan, Of course. I should have said that I made them anonymous. The full archive of math fun postings is on the web, by the way, although only members can see it. Best regards Neil On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 9:56 PM, Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:

Anonymity would solve Dan's problem if his only issue were (say) the risk of embarrassment if he writes something silly. But it won't help if (say) he considers that what he writes is creative work whose distribution he should be entitled to control. Suppose this were the poetry-fun mailing list, and Dan were writing sonnets. He might be annoyed at having them circulated to others without his permission, even (especially?) if his name were detached from them. I think it would be a good general rule if material posted on math-fun weren't distributed elsewhere without at least some attempt to check that its writers were happy for that to be done. -- g
Neil, Anonymity is a start, and thanks for mentioning it. But in the future, I would like to be asked even if the intention is to distribute anything I post anonymously. Thanks, Dan On Jun 23, 2014, at 7:20 PM, Neil Sloane <njasloane@gmail.com> wrote:
