When I had more free time I used to enjoy reading about the lives of the
great scientists and mathematicians.  The history of science is so
enjoyable.  Men of Mathematics by E.T. Bell really turned me on back
then.  Wish I still had a copy of that!  Anyway, I believe it was Bell
who in some article I read somewhere, talked about how he once spent a
lot of time checking ideas people would send him, find what was wrong
and sending it back.  Or if the idea had merit then take the appropriate
action.  After a while growing tired of this left it to others.  A
frequent problem was people not accepting being incorrect.  Fortunately
(unfortunately?) I'm so often incorrect, I'm used to big dogs letting me
know and my feelings don't get hurt.  It's a chance to learn.  :)

Mark, if you think your idea is correct, construct a working model and
make it accessible for all to download and test or better yet, write up
a formal proof, send it to me and I'll forward it to a big dog math guru
friend of mine.  Make sure it's some serious s***, or my buddy will
heave a large text book at me at high velocity for wasting his time.
But sincerely, I think you should consider first taking a better look at
what dsr said and doing more investigation.
