IDEAS, RANTS, AND RANDOM
MUSINGS
These are works not in progress. (Some are conference papers I see
no point in or hope of publishing; some are mere queries.) I invite you
to react to them and, since I have more ideas than time, please steal these
and complete them. Just let me know when you take over command of
one, so I won't accidentally duplicate your work. (And of course
it would be nice if you gave me appropriate credit.)
