Do you mind if we call you Bruce, just to keep it clear? Okay then - I'm assuming that your reply (being the Mother of all Non Sequiturs) is intended facetiously, rather than being the epitome of your humour-appreciation standards. If this is not the case, then I would argue that "Brian" is the more appropriate name, since his fame and reputation were also based on delusions and misunderstandings. --Bruce Professor of Cartesian Philosophy Bossfella, Department of Philosophy University of Woolamaloo (Not to be confused, as some Sheilas apparently do, with the University of Woolloomooloo) Australia, Australia, Australia CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 1999 <-- November 1999 <-- 30 November 1999 |
