Could you ALL please STOP sending me these messages


Could you ALL please STOP sending me these messages?

I seem to have succeeded in getting you all to not send messages
to all-ai@ai.mit.edu, but now I'M getting cc'd PERSONALLY with
lots of messages about your lisp anxieties.  Is this a cruel joke?
or is the lisp community getting a bit absent-minded :).

C'mon guys, pay attention to where you send your flames.  Please!

Ken.

Subject: Pork addicts are pathetic losers

re: To go to the extreme, I might even use something like Lisp for my work
    even if it wasn't implemented to run on a computer.

And I actually did so(!) in my first graduate project in mathematics, for
Prof. Hao Wang, in "Logic".  It was easier to state the algorithm in Lisp
(alas, such as it was in those days) than to try adapting lots of silly
greek symbols . . . and Prof. Wang actually read it in Lisp!


Aside: Good to hear your sensible voice in this otherwise cacaphanous debate,
Bob.  Come over to the Harlequin Booth at OWE next week and say "Hello" for 
old times sake (and same to you too, Steve Iconoclassman  . . . )
