  well, I recognize _your_ intent.

  because the questions asked did not indicate that the requestor
  understood that multiple paradigms could be supported by one language.

  I can beat that: I _know_ you see evil intentions that aren't there.
  I also think you're stupid who can't see more than one way to read my
  anti-Scheme articles and go on to fault me for your own poor vision.
