Ok, I’m a little late in this, but I thought I’d wish him a happy 17th anyway.
And for those of you wondering apparently the proper way to say his name is: MatJas
And his new nick name (Math Jazz) “is in fact an exaggerated American pronunciation of [his] name.” Which in his reply to me (when I said that even redneck Americans don’t stick a “J” sound in for an “I”) is “more a certain-Flemish-people-trying-to-speak-English-properly type of English. In Dutch, my name is pronounced as MatJas (TapijtFrak), but things gets funnier each time it is spoken.”
So there you have it.

Thanks
Oh well, I guess I should send you a sound recording of my name or something, to prevent further confusion…
