You advice me well, but I have a minor in mathematical logic and
during travels Simenon is my preferred reading. Why all these advices?

Thanks for pointing out my peliferate mistale. As anybody who knows me can
testify: I can't spell. Or
type.

However, I hope this doesn't detract from the point that: if at all
possible, say what you want to say as
simply as you can.

Although I admire the Tractatus, I was thinking more of Philosophical
Investigations. In Philosophical Investigations there are some seriously
tough things to think about. But because of the clear and elegant way
these ideas are written, the language does not detract or obscure the
difficulties inherent in the work.

Anyway enough already! This is comp.lang.lisp not
boring.prat.waffles.about.philosopy.

Also, could you please refrain from ageism. Its tough enough being young,
old, or any other age without fud spread about you.

Cheers,

Will
