<Karma neutral> Let's say the set of people with and without a girlfriend or a family running Debian GNU/Linux is denoted by X. Now, we all agree that if someone contributes to Debian as a debian developer, most surely he/she/it will be running Debian and/or any other distro/OS. So, after this fair assumption, we can denote Y the set of Debian developers and contributor. Thus, since it is clear from the above statements that Y is a subset of X, that is, Y is contained in X, then, by addressing X as you did, Wolfgang, in your previous emails, you are (I am sure not intentionally) addressing Y. So, yes, you were indeed talking, amongst others, about the people contributing to Debian. </Karma neutral> -- J. Javier Maestro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://rigel.homelinux.com
