[net.math] what's interesting

Hey Gang, it seems obvious that there is something pathological about our
"interesting" property.  Something should only be construed as interesting
when it has a property which sets it apart.  Therefore, any property which
can be shown to apply to all numbers int he space considered does not make
its constituent numbers interesting.

One could probably argue further that any property P, for which the
cardinality of {n: P(n)} is infinite, does not make n interesting.
(Who cares if 38746325287484 is even, lots of numbers are!)
