FoudrElls, you missed my point, I think. I was tring to communicate that I have not stopped enjoying chess and I have not stopped enjoying number theory. It's just that I have learned to adjust my expectations of the level at which I enjoy them. Just like I never expect or need to become a grandmaster to find chess interesting, I now also never expect or need to reach the large Veblen ordinal to find large numbers interesting. Thanks, and farewell!
