Top Ten Reasons Gismondi and Swart Haven't Responded to the Postings on
  comp.theory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
10.  Gismondi's dog ate the crucial lemma.
 9.  Haven't logged in since Mike Robson flooded their mailboxes with
        e-mail messages demanding his $50,000.
 8.  On advice of counsel, further details will not be revealed until the
        patent is obtained.
 7.  On the run from the NSA after using their algorithm to break numerous
        government public-key encryption schemes.
 6.  Rubbed out by Chris Long to avoid paying off his $1000 bet.
 5.  After seeing pictures of Somalia, decided a bunch of optimization
        problems just aren't so damned relevant; joined the Peace Corps.
 4.  Don't want a bunch of pesky New York Times reporters calling them up
        at all hours.
 3.  Car overturned while driving to Guelph with their new manuscript;
        currently convalescing in the cabin of their `number one fan.'
 2.  After factoring a few million numbers, caught a glimpse of the
        ultimate pattern of Creation; last seen gibbering in a dark corner.
 1.  Busy simulating their $O(n^{6}$ Graph Isomorphism algorithm by hand on
        two 100-node graphs; should be done by 32,992 AD.
