You admit to being vague because all this is two years old (what have I been saying about your "experiences" and the dishonesty of using stale painful experiences to _continue_ to post negative comments about something?) and that you have no specific examples to back up your claim. I already knew that, but it is good to see that you admit to this. This leaves us with a very simple, straightforward conclusion: There is absolutely no reason to believe anything you say. You are simply too much of a dishonest person to have any credibility at all. Until and unless you can show us exactly what you did and exactly what happened, your whole set of experiences falls in the category of "idiot operator error". Blame whoever you want, every honest person has to conclude that it was your own goddamn fault. _No_ system can be so fool-proof that a self-destructive, lying, angry fool cannot find something to blame it for. Only good thing is it was a Linux and not a Common Lisp system that you mistreated so badly that your hatred was misdirected towards Common Lisp. There have been enough dishonest lunatics just like you who have been so angry about their failure to understand what they are doing in Common Lisp that they publish books about it. It is fortunate for Debian that you are unlikely to be capable of such demanding intellectual endeavors. /// -- Norway is now run by a priest from the fundamentalist Christian People's Party, the fifth largest party representing one eighth of the electorate. -- The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers. -- Richard Hamming
