Wasn't it Russell who reported meeting someone who claimed to be a
solipsist and was surprised to notice that she was the only 
one?


I head the same story, except that the woman told Russell, "I'm so 
glad to find out I'm not the only one."  Russell, who'd had a certain 
tendency towards solipsism in his thought at the time, decided at 
that point that solipsism was pretty silly.  Of course, I'm trying to 
remember this from a biography of B.R. I read over ten years ago.
