Can anyone on this list state - and cite! - a theorem to the effect that 
to any recursively axiomatisable theory $T$ in a language $L$ there is a 
finitely axiomatisable theory $T'$ in a suitable language $L'$ with $T'$ 
equivalent to $T'$ in some very strong sense.   Somebody must have proved
a rigorous version of this, and I am hoping that listmembers will know
who and how.
