Nah...  I think Paul Graham has them lined up around the block, my
groupies only straggle in slowly.  Still, do my callous remarks mean
that I will be blocked from downloading other programming language
distributions?  Or is it just that I am too doltish to ever really enjoy
the satisfaction of CL?

Not so much.  I think my personal posting foibles slightly miss the
point, but the sting in observing them is in good enough humor.

Yours, David...
