You got all that?



I moderate physics, mathematics, math_research, and borgian_review, which are open communities, no need to ask me to join - jump on in, the mental wankery's fine.

I also moderate theory_research, which you're welcome to post to if you're an active theoretical physics researcher, and if you'd like to join (you don't need to join to post, but if people post "friends-only" there, you won't be able to read them until you've joined), drop me an email.
