Is it the case that MO is actually split into several communities which only communicate with each other through meta-activity but have no actual mathematical interests in common? This is not sheer c …

Excellent opportunity to say what is so difficult to express adequately - the gratitude I feel for having this fantastic place! I've been here for less than a year, and almost from the very beginning …

A good evidence for me that Mathematics is free of time - although I'm here for almost two years by now, it feels at the same time like my interactions here happened all at the same moment and like I' …
