It's nice to see someone trying to post something other than spam in
this group (and nice to hear you are still around, Richard).
Unfortunately, you are responding to a spambot, not a person, and the
original post made no sense.

If you'd like to talk about infinities, however, I'm game - it's always
a fun subject (though only vaguely on-topic here).  We could start by
proving that ∞⁴ is equal to ∞.
