Thank you, but it seems as if I wasn't clear in my question. Didn't you say: "If I am going to enumerate the real numbers in such and such a way then there will be some of them not in my list"?
But then, that doesn't prove all too much, because it's obvious that there are many ways of not counting the reals. The point is that there is no way of counting the reals.
