It amazes me that people think of 'do-gooder' as an insult, that always blows my mind -- Kevin Bacon

@AnneLouiseAvery Thank you ... your work is wonderful.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

I don't know if @RoyalMail will see this, or if they will response but I just got a:

"Package was not available when we called."

You never called.

We were in

We were watching the front door

You never called.

You take our money, and then lie.

@juliet_turner6 @OxfordBiology @NewCollegeOx BTW ... I only saw this by accident because I'm usually on https://t.co/aBF8DCM5Du and rarely visit this site. With the replies you've received, I'm pleased I've (mostly) left, and enraged on your behalf.

Stay strong ... you've done a brilliant thing ... congrats again.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@juliet_turner6 @OxfordBiology @NewCollegeOx Fabulous !! Congratulations ...

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@DrFrostMaths Hey Jamie! Nice to have met you yesterday. It's pure chance that I saw your follow, I almost never open this site, and don't have it on my phone. I now spend all my time on https://t.co/FuU8eE8Otj ... feel free to join us there, and ask any questions. Or email me.

@tara_taylor Consider creating an account on https://t.co/aBF8DCM5Du as a bolt-hole ...

@jimalkhalili Someone pointed me at this ... I'm basically not on this platform any more.

So I've posted it on Mastodon for you to help increase the reach.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@murderousmaths There are a few people I would regret losing contact with, and they've stayed here. I drop in occasionally to check up on them and saw your post, and this reply.

But I don't post, don't check the feeds, and generally don't engage. I made an exception for you because I know you.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@murderousmaths If nothing else it's an extra audience.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@murderousmaths I'm not on Twitter any more, and I know a lot of people who have moved.

Can I suggest you post these on Mathstodon?

I can help ...

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@CmonMattTHINK The radius if the incircle of a Primitive Pythagorean Triangle is an interesting thing, and there are some non-trivial questions that arise naturally from this.

I give an entire workshop on it.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@Bobby_Seagull In particular, Graham Brightwell, and Imre Leader.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@Bobby_Seagull Two of my PhD siblings, one of whom I shared an apartment with, were UK champions. Yes, I've heard of it. (PS: I'm effectively never here, it's unlikely I see a reply. Find me on mathstodon, or on t'internet)

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@ChadNauseam @tqbf That rings true ... I'm going to keep it in mind next time I try to wake through the comments to find any useful insights. Thank you.

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@michael_foskett Hah! Found your email ... sent you a ping there.

👍

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@michael_foskett Happy Birthday !!

I have a note in my diary to ping you today, but I think this is my only way to contact you. I'm basically never here now ... find my on Mastodon or email.

Have a good one !!

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@littmath Lotsa 'bots.

Every time I visit here from Mathstodon I have to remind myself of just how many 'bots are here.

[Daniel Litt @littmath]

Some pretty odd responses to this!

[Colin Wright (@[email protected]) @ColinTheMathmo]

@ScuderiUrsula Hello!! It was lovely to meet you, entirely by chance.

I'm not often here on Twitter, but happy to stay in touch.

Cheers!!
