Yes, intent is all that counts. | And as a faithful reader of such threads I was honestly puzzled as to how | we got from zero to sixty in one article.

Nothing ever happens. No understanding. Just pauses between reiterations and regurgitations of the same stale arguments. | You're the rock star of Common Lisp.
