Math Odds & Ends

[harpazo]

What is Math Odds & Ends about? What is the purpose of this forum? Can math questions be posted here? What about math stories? Math history? Math jokes?

The forum description reads:

"Clever math jokes, trivia, good links, etc."

I see this forum as the "catchall" for topics that really don't belong in any of the dedicated math forums.

It's basically the faculty lounge.

It's basically the faculty lounge.

As a faculty lounge, topics other than mathematics can be discussed. Can religion be discussed here?

I suspect that like all places where people go to relax, discussing your love life, religion, or politics is best avoided.

… Can religion be discussed here?

You may not discuss religion at this site. (I told you that several months ago.)

Do you remember what happened at that other math site, where you repeatedly overran their forum with religious convictions, proselytizing and blatherings? After ignoring months of warnings to stop posting religious material, you were permanently banned from that forum. Do you have any memory of that, at all?
