Whoa there, hold on John. If you check out out my other post of 4/7/00 you'll see:

There was no attempt by me pass this off as my own, which is what you seem to be
implying, correct me if I'm wrong - I had no recollection of where it came from or who
had
written it. If you say it is Struans then I'll accept that, although I have just
checked through
all my private correspondence with Struan and all of his posts to the mailing lists
and I can
find no trace of it in any of these. It is reminiscent of his style though so I am
quite happy to
give Struan due credit for it.
It was provided to the list as an excellent introduction to and critique of Emotivism,
being
relevant to the discussion currently under way this month.
Anyway, thanks for supplying the source of the essay - and could you ask Struan to let
me
know where I might have acquired this essay - off list preferably.
