I think what Rainer tries to get across is that you cannot expect decent
replies to what is, essentially, an insult.

Maybe you're not reading comp.lang.lisp carefully enough. Maybe you're
missing the fact that comp.lang.lisp is not the center of the Common
Lisp universe. That's just two possible reasons.

Clozure Common Lisp is maintained by Clozure Associates, who provide
consulting to ITA Software, among other companies, who in turn use
Clozure Common Lisp as a basis for an airline reservation system which
is one of the biggest Common Lisp projects ever attempted. I guess all
involved parties are very interested in keeping the number of quirks to
a minimum level as much as possible, no matter what platform.

By the way, the main reason why they choose Common Lisp is because it
sucks much less than all the other alternatives. That's probably just
another thing you're missing...

I will probably never like your contributions, Siegfried Gonzi, aka
Frankenstein or Klosch�ssel (you really suck), but it is astonishing how
you still feel forced to read comp.lang.lisp.

I wonder if Bigloo/Scheme people really deserve having you always on
their radar.

Keep these words coming. Biking daily in Vienna traffic, I am always
keen to extend my vocabulary of insults in German :-)

Well, "Klosch�ssel" is simply the nearest thing I can associate with
"klohmuschel".
