That begs the question, does openSUSE want the *same* users as Ubuntu?
Bzzzt!
That BEGETS the question. (i.e. it leads to the question).
Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which you assume the conclusion to prove the conclusion (I.e. "This holy book is true because it says so." THAT is begging the question).
I stand corrected and humbled. (Extra embarassment: My wife is a writer and editor; if she had seen that I'd have had a lot worse done to me than getting humbled.) :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
