Topic started by Phil Now With New Piccies (philn)

A man of opposites; laid back, sociable when you get to know me, charming, but a little quiet and maybe mysterious at first. Different? Maybe - but it's all part of the charm :0) I will talk to anyone about anything - meaning of life and universe down to trivia. My curiosity is one of my greatest strengths. I'm settled in Guildford and love being close to London. In California until 24 June

A topic from OUT Website: Frequently Asked Questions

OK so help me with this one...

I want to start a thread (let's call it Thread X) which is a list of ALL the OUT threads which don't refer to their own quickfind numbers in the body of the posts to that thread

So, for instance, quickfind:324884 doesn't contain anywhere within its posts a reference to its own quickfind number. So I would list it in Thread X. In fact, the majority of OUT threads would be listed, because its quite unusual to refer to the quickfind of a thread within the thread itself

But, if this Thread X is a list of all the threads which don't contain their own quickfind numbers, do I put the quickfind number of Thread X on the list?

because if i don't list Thread X, my list is incomplete - it is no longer a list of ALL such threads, because it doesn't include Thread X itself

But if i DO list Thread X, then my list is wrong - because by putting the quickfind number of Thread X on the list, Thread X is no longer eligible to appear on the list, because now it DOES contain its own quickfind number

So in other words, Thread X is either incomplete (because it does not list itself) or wrong (because it does list itself when it shouldn't)

What should i do? Should I:

a: forget about it and log onto Gaydar

b: Accept that the whole logical basis of maths is fundamentally flawed

c: invent a new branch of Forum Theory to deal with the contradiction?

Surely this question has come up before?
