Hello Ekki -- I like that list of categories! Something suspiciously western about it though; must be the "et cetera"

It acts as a nice example of Russell's Paradox, in "(h) included in the present classification". Byzantine problems arise, beginning with "Does this mean the present classification h, the present classification a-g and i-n, or the present classification a-n?" And so forth and so on and etcetera.

I just popped by to apologise for so much non-limerick spoof about Berkeley in EPAL. All grist to the entry mill, another page to pass over in silence is born.

No need to apologise Recumbentman ... topic drift is what keeps most of these threads going well passed their natural shelf life! In some cases it would be kinder to perhaps leave them be but then again where's the fun in that!

smiley - cheers
