Uche Ogbuji scripsit:

Sez me qua deviser of the brick: URL scheme; its referents are not hyperdocuments
but bricks.

What on earth would be the point?

As the lady said to Bernard Russell:  "Of course I'm a solipsist; isn't
everyone?"

And then there's Ray Smullyan's conversation with a solipsist:

Sol: "I am the only one that exists."
Smul: "Yes, I am the only one that exists."
Sol: "No, no!  I am the only one that exists."
Smul: "Exactly.  I am, indeed, the only one that exists."
Sol: "No, no, no!  I, not you, is the one who exists!"
Smul: "Just what I say myself -- I, not you, is the one who exists."
Etc.

> I hope we can agree to neither agree nor disagree.
