Abstract
There was a conference in Europe, I think one of the GAMM meetings, where a guy was being an annoying nuisance. Let us call him Dr. X. Dr. X’s paper had not been accepted, but he was using the question period after the other talks to announce his results. Dr. X tried to do this after Gino’s talk. He had understood correctly that the point he wanted to make was one that Gino would agree with, but he did not realize that Gino would regard the point as trivial and not worth making. Gino, of course, was acting as his own chairman, and had signaled to Dr. X that he would take his question, but then immediately realized what was going on.
