AFAIK, it's a place that we can share ideas, pass on a little knowledge, learn new things and most of all, have some fun!

So seriously, let's get back to having fun with the friendly exchange of ideas in the forum?

I honestly have no clue what you are complaining about. Sure, sometimes discussions get heated and even name-calling may happen... but I see no trace of anything like that in this thread. Where do you think we went wrong?

I for one understand Bill's sentiments. More often than none there's a certain Damocles sword pending over always ready to be let loose. So I too claim the right to goof up.

Modular exponentiation, of all things is a tricky one to grasp - more so if you had no exposure to Modular math. Thank you Thomas for your informative responses and clarifications, I'm sure that helped may folks.

Cheers,
