Mr. Z Takes Umbrage

Mr. Wakcher (aka THE Creator of Circle Versus Square),

I have been following the developments of your new website and noted on 1/19/2008 what can be none other then an indirect affront to me and my fellow mathematicians to which I take umbrage. I suggest you put a warning on your website that declares something to the effect as follows:

"Any resemblance to real persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

I have not ruled out entirely seeking legal counsel, a written apology, damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress, or anything else my lawyer may invent under some little known legal precedent. Of course, this letter should not be construed as a declaration of my entire legal rights nor an abrogation of any legal rights I may possess against you or your website.

Sincerely,

Mr. Z
