Full Retraction with my Apologies
It's seems silly to say that obviously my attempt at a proof isn't even close. But I feel guilty enough to do so. Obviously, I was suffering from a bit of delusion which has amazingly come off and on. I'll only say that I've been under some pressures.
It's amazing what the mind will believe if pushed, and I'll continue to believe that Fermat found a simple solution—despite the evidence to the contrary—simply because that's what I choose to believe.
In any event, I've found that the mild release making outrageous claims has given me is finally surmounted by a sense of shame; so I'll quit. Since I have nothing of value to add to this newsgroup, I will unsubscribe.
My apologies to anyone concerned or in any way interested.
