A dichotomy for projections of planar sets
  We prove that most one-dimensional projections of a discrete subset of a plane are either dense in R (the real line), or form a discrete subset of R. More precisely, the set E of exceptional directions (for which the indicated dichotomy fails) is a meager subset of the unit circle T of Lebesgue measure 0. The set E however does not need to be small in the sense of Hausdorff dimension.
