Now that the most recent mutation of surrogate "factoring" has been
soundly refuted, what will James Harris do next?

Will he make a few minor changes and claim once again to have solved
the factoring problem?

Will he extend his "research" into the complex numbers? I wonder
how James will define a "non-trivial complex factor".

Will he claim he was just "brainstorming"?

Will he say it was all part of his grand experiment on Usenet
participants?

Will he post drunken rants with references to the Hammer and
Death Incarnate?

Will he disappear for a few days and then post of the significance
of his other "discoveries"?

Please yer bets!
