Yes.  I apologized (to the list, not to Rue) because the suggestion is,
well, non-Pythonic.  Tacky.  And I was/am sorry.  Jeff has it right here,
though, that it was certainly no conspiracy; and it is the USENET way to
publicly handle such things.

Indeed.  He uses a nonstandard definition of "language" and applies
"physics"
to programming.  He can't program, you know; ten years on this project and
nothing to show for it.  If I had tried to develop something like this for
ten years and had nothing to show for it but a website, I'd give up.
