Thanks to a helpful suggestion by list member Wei Dai, the armchair list will now have an archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com I'll post more details once it starts working. It won't be retroactive, but from now on the world can profit from our collective brilliance. :-) P.S. I guess there is a downside to this in terms of list candor, but I figure it's already public anyway. If you see things otherwise, let me know and I'll see if enough people agree. -- Prof. Bryan Caplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/bcaplan "Is there anything more distinctly understood by all men, than what it is to see, to hear, to remember, to judge? Yet it is the most difficult thing in the world to define these operations according to the rules of logical definition. But it is not more difficult than it is useless. Sometimes philosophers attempt to define them; but, if we examine their definitions, we shall find that they amount to no more than giving one synonymous word for another, and commonly a worse for a better." --Thomas Reid, *Essays on the Active Powers of Man*
