[a very long post including quite a lot of quotations of me, among
others]

I'm afraid that this post was too long and rambling for me to follow it.
I could not detect any coherent message in it, other than perhaps a hint
of randomly assembling quotes that sounded negative about Fortran (often
out of context, at least for some of mine). In addition to preferring
coherent organization and readability in my coding, I prefer the same in
newsgroup postings.

If you have some actual message that you are hoping I might respond to,
you'll have to state it a bit more coherently and concisely. Decoding
that tome doesn't seem worth the work. If the message is just a general
language flame, which is perhaps the main flavor I hear, then you need
not bother, as I won't respond, coherent or not.
