What a curious comment: remarking on my appearance in direct response to my report that people judge me on my appearance. No matter that you meant it as a compliment (I must assume, despite your cryptic and neutral phrasing). This may surprise you, but I'd rather be known for the output of my brain than that of my follicles.

If I wanted to participate in beauty pageants, I'd have done that. But I chose discrete math, and lately its application to physics. But I find that I'm repeating myself, so I'll stop here.
