It was me that asked whether logic should be a compulsary subject.

For many years I have done a little Boolean algebra, but only this
summer have I even learned of syllogisms, and am indeed amazed that
I could be a graduate without not having learned of syllogisms and
their rules as part of general education.

Can I ask please, is syllogisms and the like what sci.logic is about,
or am I missing something fundamental.

Please post replies, as I am sure that there may be other people in
the same position.
