Yeah, it was a completely ironic and deliberately self-referential post

you?

OK, I'll try harder in the future to keep up.

I was thinking "catch up". You come into one of the better NGs on UseNet

What part of set theory do you not understand?

hth,kt

Once upon a time in a village far far away there was a barbershop
whose barber had a strict policy of shaving everybody in the village
who didn't shave themselves and noone else. Should the barber shave
himself ?

I see. You would rather talk about computability than set theory. Not
that this example is at all interesting.

Decided already. You stuck? Hell, it was your (boring) riddle.

Actually I was talking about a set theory, as the puzzle I presented,
called a Barber paradox and attributed to Bertrand Russell and
analogous to Russell's Paradox, which is devised to show that set
theory as it was used by Georg Cantor and Gottlob Frege contained
contradictions.

If the barber does not shave himself, he must abide by the rule and
shave himself.
If he does shave himself, according to the rule he shouldn't shave
himself.
