If you would just be honest about the fact that you're not working on the halting problem, people would stop bothering
you.

Well, I doubt if he'll ever do that, but we could stop bothering him anyway. You'd be amazed at how much time you save. :-)

Dude!!  THINK what you're suggesting!   What about all the innocent children who might read his posts and come away with the wrong idea about halting?  And if someone doesn't reply pointing out PO's numerous mistakes, that would mean that PO IS RIGHT!  On the Internet, the person who posts last in an argument WINS THAT ARGUMENT, regardless of what that person was actualy saying - that's "usenet rulez"...  You'ld be AGREEING WITH PO, saying that he REALLY IS A GENIUS and everybody else here is a lying idiot!!
Mike.
ps. ok, I was exagerating slightly :)  The truth is that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DIFFERENT would come to pass if nobody responded to PO - except that posters would have more time for doing other stuff.  PO would continue believing he is a genius, until he dies and stops posting.  He would never "refine and perfect" his argument to the point where he submits his paper for publishing, and would never gain the industry reputation he needs to reapply to Cycorp and be put in charge of Cyc development. All exactly the same!
