Subject: Re: Promoting CL Was: What I want from my Common Lisp vendor and the Common Lisp community From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2001 00:33:41 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3208552420860423@naggum.net> * John Foderaro <jkf@unspamx.franz.com> > Why do you keep telling people how much you dislike me?

Er, _what_ was it that I should realize in that garbled sentence? If something still remains a mystery to you, talk to your colleagues. Several of them got the point quite early, while you keep _not_ getting it on purpose, or so it seems. ///
