Charles, List,
The list has indeed been quiet this October, although there were posts
later in September than the 27th, as well as posts on Oct. 6, 10, and 20 at
least. Over the decades of my being on Peirce-L I see that activity ebbs
and flows and for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes this seems se
I got this email, so I must be on the list.

This email dated 9/27 is the last one I have received from the list. I wonder
if I got delisted, or if things have slowed to a total stop, or what.

Fine. That just means that you only need a small subset of the
integers to count the elements. But it's nice to know that we'll
never run out of numbers to count the national debt.

John, the meaning of my post was unclear to you. My concerns focus on the

The answer offered here to Jerry Chandler by John Sowa I find a very

Jerry LRC,

I plan to post a copy that text, my diagram about it, and related
quotations by Peirce on my web site.
But I changed the subject line for the topic of pure
