Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestion. I took a quick look at your article, and I'll have to spend a little more time on it. "Delicious Primes?" Great name.
And it's a good read. "I find this definition of prime numbers absolutely delightful. It has a wonderful zen-like quality to it, and yet successfully gets away with defining the list of prime numbers in terms of itself." Very well put.
Also I appreciate your correct use of the phrase "begging the question". The common and incorrect use that I hear constantly is one of my pet peeves.
I fully agree.
Mitchell
