Who cares? International usenet is totally crappy already, much too much noise, and too much traffic, also. And spam!! We hardly have _any_ spam in at.*, and when, it's quickly cancelled by a cancelbot. > Not that I necessarily disagree with your observation, but your > judgment and dismissal of a language without relevant knowledge > would, in many people's minds, qualify you as a bigot. Whether I'm not a bigot, since I have my very own opinion on Lisp, and I see both its good and bad sides. I don't shout "[my favorite language] �ber alles". What many here miss to understand that there's always the right tool for the right job, and obviously Lisp can't be it in all disciplines, nor does any other language (because no language is perfect, also see my signature :).
