Why? | If they succeeded with one thing than it is to intimidate "ordinary" | people who have no interest in flames and personal ego wars. You just made it more "interesting" to everybody. Why? | If you don´t think you can dare to post a question before working through | Paul Graham´s books and still "tremble" to receive a beating there is | something seriously wrong here IMHO. Yes, people like you who cannot let things go and actually answer the guy's _questions_, but get up on your high horse to denounce yourself and your own actions, except that you do not understand this because there is only ever somebody _else_ who do something wrong in your demented mind. Understand your own role, apologize to the newsgroup for what you have just done, and never, ever repeat such a foul stunt again, will you? What _actually_ prompted you _not_ to answer his technical questions? Xanalys just lost a potential customer. We are using CMUCL, instead. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.
