[edit] Asperger?

Why no hint at Borcherds' psychiatric background (diagnosed as Asperger). Borcherds', to my knowledge, never was shy to discuss this in public contexts (which proves him to be also a great character in addition to his mathematical talents) and it may contribute to the psychological aspects of highly gifted persons. I made the first entry about Borcherds once (don't praise me!) and mentioned this fact but it couldn't survive long in WIKI.

I hope the man himself will take you up on your suggestion, if he is so inclined. GangofOne 23:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] legendary Mike Richard Borcherds

Today's change: "Richard Ewen Borcherds', brother to the legendary Mike Richard Borcherds, otherwise known as MRB by his closest friends, " looks like noise to me. Tell us more about the legend. --GangofOne 21:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
