  Let me recount a few not necessarily relevant facts for those of you
who don't subscribe to talk.philosophy.misc. Let's look at some things
which Mr. Mozes thinks are facts. Mr. Mozes thinks that Ayn Rand's ethical
philosophy is a science. Mr. Mozes thinks that set theory and mathematical
logic are not areas of mathematics. These are not facts, nor are they
things on which informed and reasonable people disagree.  These are false-
hoods. Mr. Mozes does not like me because I rap his knuckles as he deserves
for his activities as the Ted Holden of talk.philosophy.misc; but rather
than try to refute me he prefers to publish from time to time articles
such as this. I hope Mr. Mozes and Mr. Harnad become net good buddies,
because they deserve each other.

   This is false, so I suppose it is no surprise that Mr. Mozes calls it
a "fact".
