Ok, so I don't have to post to Usenet to get readers. I do have a
math blog and have REALLY hoped I could just post from my blog and
that would handle everything. And I do get readers. I get roughly 30
to 40 unique hits a day according to several analytics software
products. That's about 1000 people per month or roughly 10000 per
year. And from 40 to 60 countries per month, and over 100+ countries
per year.
So I figured, hey, that should mean that if I'm right someone would
notice. But time just keeps passing, so I keep trying to delve more
deeply into the data to see what's happening.
One thing with a massive impact DOES seem to be one page which is a
Crank.net webpage by Erik Max Francis who I have argued with on the
sci.math newsgroup and searches on my name related to math pull up his
page #1. Also there is the way visitors are using my site in many
cases which is as a reference.
The two points may seem contradictory: a hate page insulting me is
pulled up highly with my *name* while looking at user activity on my
math blog indicates they are just using it as a reference, but the
explanation is bizarre and simple.
Usenet attacks have been personal and effective in painting me
personally as a crackpot, which is easily verified by web searches.
Just search on: james harris
I just did that and the Erik Max Francis page blasting me as a crank
comes up #18.
But if you wish to solve quadratic residues who do you think comes up
#2? Not me exactly, MY PAGE comes up!
The math is pulling up highly and usage that I'm seeing on the site
comes up in a pattern consistent with that assessment: people from all
over the world are coming to my site as a math reference, presumably
getting the info they need, and then going on their way!
What I do with Usenet posts like this one, or the other threads on
this group or threads on other newsgroups, is look to see how I can
shift the patterns by doing what you could call experiments. Then I
adjust strategy across my websites.
Presumably if enough time passes--think YEARS--the dominance of my
ideas will pull me along, crush negatives like remove the influence of
Erik Max Francis or other negative posters, and end this bizarre
situation.
But history shows it can actually take DECADES, so I'm brainstorming
out faster solutions, like promoting various research to see what
impact it has.
Here I focus on solving quadratic residues. Prior to this I focused
on my prime counting function on other newsgroups. At other times
I've talked about the core error I found in number theory, where a
paper seems to have triggered the math community into destroying one
of their journals.
And I have other mathematical finds that I can pull in at will as
well.
So you are part of one experimental foray to see how the impact of the
world's first way to generally solve quadratic residues modulo N fares
in a natural environment. So far nothing new!
I'm seeing the same type responses as in the past. And getting
roughly the same feel as before. Which is what also occurred on other
newsgroups.
My math blog has not seen a shift in usage. Country patterns remain
the same. Areas of hits have barely budged though there have been
really tiny mini-spikes from occasions when some posters have put up
links to my blogs in response to me.
Quite simply the math blog behaves as if you don't exist, except for
Erik Max Francis, where I continue to see hits coming from his
Crank.net website which has a continuing influence that puzzles me.
One theory is that it's easier to control people with negatives than
positives, and easier to convince with negatives than most people
realize. As, he hasn't even had to update his page! But as long as
it sits there, it stays highly rated, and is clearly a massive driver
of my own personal negatives.
My negative numbers are HUGE. Increasingly I'm one of the few people
in the world whose name is popping up on webpages around the world
month after month, year after year, where most of those people have no
idea who this "James Harris" guy is, but if they look, oh, he's a
crackpot, but hey, this math thing works, so....
Credit that Erik Max Francis with having a site that is massively
powerful, but that also means that if anyone breaks through it should
be easy to prove that his site is critical in many people's
assessments of value. So the negatives he puts out are VERY
effective.
I call it a social transistor effect: all by himself Erik Max Francis
may be able to squash people just by putting up a page on his
Crank.net website, and have that squashing effect last indefinitely no
matter what they do, or even how much their research is used, around
the world.
He is very effective.

You forgot to provide the URL.

Fixed that for you. You are welcome. |

Fine. It doesn't matter. I've been amazed at times by people who
think that posting that link is some powerful magical thing as a way
to attack me. But it's not.
Erik Max Francis was a Usenet poster on sci.math with whom I had words
along with others. He simply has taken spite to a new level and has a
popular page which WORKS to drive my negatives.
So much so that while my actual research comes up highly in Google
searches, searches on me pull his page.
The guy knows what he's doing!
He can quite literally paint you as a crackpot, and make it stick and
that have an impact on your life when he just walks away, as he hasn't
even bothered to update the page in years.
He doesn't have to, as it's an indefinitely powerful massive negative
blocker.

No. You have to post to Usenet to get responses.

Of course. It's impossible for a single person to visit a web
site more than once a year.

Let's not think about what it should mean if you're wrong.

Is that http://www.crank.net/harris.html ?

How can you tell from "user activity" that the reader isn't just
laughing? Web statistics software has really become sophisticated!

Doesn't even have to be Google.

Not only hasn't he had to update it, he didn't even have to
write it!

I wonder which is more effective at convincing people you're
a kook, Erik's tiny page or your own writing. Contacting Nancy
Pelosi demanding to know how Google works, writing to the NSA, the
David Ullrich thing, the Kara Thrace thing, it just goes on and on.
