For some reason or other, this discussion made a middle-aged man slightly happy:

Even more so because I neither initiated it, nor have had any hand in't as the debate has progressed. Small glee, in petto, if that's the phrase; which suits my small compass and narrow horizons.

I'm pretty certain I'm not clever enough for philosophy either: the only thing I have to offer in such debates is my wide reading allied to too much time spent hanging around with Pure Mathematicians. However, when one of my pet mathematical diversions comes up unannounced, I get a warm glow.
