You don't have to explain boolean algebra to me, I understand that well. It
is still weaseling out of the real question based on technicalities, just as
Stephen Gallagher's announcement did.
Kevin,
I slept on this and the original email and apologize. You are correct in multiple ways and I was wrong in multiple ways.
1. I was 'math-splaining' boolean math to a Mathematician and English to some one who while not a native speaker probably know the language better than I do.
2. I did weasel around the 'real' question you wanted answer. I saw the original question as the type to start a knife fight and not anything else. I wanted to stop that and choose a bad way to do so.
3. I was trying to avoid the 'elephant' in the room that the FAQ question steps up to but doesn't answer. Instead I further enabled the 'problem' in the original question. After spending two months of fighting over Red Hat's 'ownership of resources' in the CentOS community, I was trying to make it go away here.
In all of those cases, I am sorry and should have found a better way to answer you.
