Heh heh, pages upon pages of people going No... NO! Aaaaaagh you're all wrong shut up about the .999... thing. This is worse/more amusing than the time that the Monty Hall problem was AOTD.

I find it interesting that the text of the article actually predicts the belief-path the doubters take... when faced with simple and easily graspable proofs, they change their minds and state that obviously this means that the number system is broken.

Oh, it really doesn't *bother* me as such. I'm certainly not insulted, and I hope you are not either. I simply find your position on mathematics surprising and it makes for an interesting discussion. I hope I didn't come across too combative!

You did kind of come off as combative, or maybe I was just being sensitive. Sorry if I over-reacted and was combative back. I'm glad we're bringing this back down to the level of interesting discussion. :)
