As a matter of facts, we all do that to some extent: the last few months in English (and in many western European languages) are named as if the year started in March (because that used to be the case for Latin calendar, I believe): * September from "septem", which is "seven"; * October from "octo", which is "eight"; * November from "novem", which is "nine"; * December from "decem", which is "ten". Fortunately we at least agree on being wrong in this case. Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani Postdoc researcher - Université Libre de Bruxelles signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: smaller than 0 but not negative (Re: question about Conflicts:

In maths we have quite a few ways to define number greater than zero, but less than any other positive (real) number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal The most widespread is probably the concept of hyperreal number. They don't strictly speaking fall into your definition, since smaller than zero is usually defined to be exactly the opposite of negative (in particular, if Debian used hyperreal numbers for package versions, no foo hyperversion would never be installable with the requirements above), but is probably the mathematical answer which fits more with your question.

It won't work: if the notice itself to keep the email secret is secret, then no one can fulfill it, simply because no one is even allowed to know it. You should say that your email is secret except for the part regarding its secrecy status, which is public (given your email, this is more or less equivalent to say that the whole email is public...). My email, except for the part quoting Enrico (which is, as Enrico said, secret forever, although to know it you must infringe the secrecy), is public. Indeed, you must publish it in all the ways you can, periodically (say, once in a month) sending it to all your contacts and the lists you're subscribed to. Forever.
