you have already bentshed on an ordinary Shabbos after sholosh seudos, and
it's getting dark, you can't eat until havdalah, but that's not called
"fasting on Shabbos."</FONT></DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"

<DIV>But I will add a bit more. The norm is that we always add time to the
beginning and end of Whatever, to make sure we don't transgress. So we add
a bit to the beginning and end of Shabbos, a bit to the beginning and end of
Tisha B'Av, etc. We never simply have a 24-hour Whatever.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here Shabbos is edging into Tisha B'av and the fuzzy hour is that
hour which we have tacked onto the end of Shabbos, which is at the same time the
hour we have added to the beginning of Tisha B'Av. Now, you can look at it
sort of like those quantum photons or Schroedinger's cats that are neither
this nor that, or maybe both. That hour is either Shabbos or Tisha
B'Av or somehow both if you don't look too closely. To the degree that
it's Tisha B'Av, that hour is already Sunday and you have begun the fast (by not
eating anymore). To the degree that it's Shabbos, it's still Saturday and
you are not fasting because you have eaten and drunk all day.</DIV>

<DIV>"You can't have it both ways." Tell it to Schroedinger's cat.</DIV>
