:-) :-)
But, I did NOT say that closures are irrelevant nonsense. ROBERT DEWAR
put these words in my mouth. They are so utterly _STUPID_ that I hope
no one actually believes I really said such RUBBISH.
What I said (and STILL CLAIM) is that all this rubbish about _implementing_
closures with displays AS THE REASON for not accepting them was AND IS
irrelevant RUBBISH.
