[SOC] [OT] Oops I forgot

[RE: [OT]  But important scientific question.

My profound apologies to so many friends across so many forums. I am yet 
also once again, indebted.

Alert readers will recollect my very recent query whether Einstein was a 
noted mathematician or simply a great physicist.

 From nearly 100 responses, mostly private, 99% were a predictable "nay" 
and one was in the category of "maybe".

My personal first prize goes to my friend, Jim N2EY, with [I'd never 
thought of it] but the girls were hammered with the point.

Thanks for everyone's input, I'm indeed most grateful if more than 
somewhat lax in courtesy in responding.


Thanks! :)
