I guess you should take into account that you are not (one of) the most preeminent computer scientists in the world, right?

If Don Knuth sent me a 14-page letter, you bet I'm gonna read it. I might frame it.

I was fortunate enough to get one of the last physical reward checks which was accompanied by a printout of my e-mail, written on in pencil.

Fortunately, it survived a house flood which destroyed the book it was in, so now the envelope it's in is prominently displayed on a rack in my living room and would be one of the things I'd grab in the event of a fire.

Every so often, when a co-worker knows who Knuth is I bring it in to a workplace to show off.

[anonzzzies]

I would definitely frame it. I framed an email from Norvig and a note from Dijkstra. Get joy from small things.

If a rando from hn sent me a 14-page letter, I'd probably read it. I might give it to the police afterwards.

Do you listen longer when your best dairy cow moos?

[nwiswell]

If my best dairy cow was Don Knuth, my bones would be NP-Hard.

[irrational]

I don’t know. Don’t cows moo constantly?
