I know i should know this, and i know also that even tho'
i don't, is hould know how to find out, but it's always
so much easier to ask a mailing list of people wiser than
oneself, isn't it?
    Who invented the axiom scheme of collection, and when?
And isn't it high time we taught our kiddies a version of
ZF wherein collection is used instead of replacment?  Any
fom-ers teaching undergraduate courses in set theory? And
do they teach replacment or collection?
