Begging the question is what one does in an argument when one assumes what one claims to be proving. This definition is taken from the Skeptic's Dictionary, and we all know that dictionaries are always right, right? If you're going to claim that something is in the FRC Regulations, then you really ought to specify /where/ in the FRC Regulations it is. (The definition given above is quoted verbatim from the URL http://skepdic.com/begging.html - main body of text - first paragraph.) Future rules will contain exactly one line less than the previous rule, unless some previous rule contains exactly one line. Brevity is the soul of wit, anyhow. -- Ed Murphy <emurphy42_at_socal.rr.com> "I'm not sure I can go through http://members.fortunecity.com/emurphy/ with it. Leave, I mean." -- Rule Date: 2003-02-13 06:04:19 GMT
