Hi, all
I'am afraid that this is becoming a sensitive matter. I would not like to
see a war starting between the rebol-listers. I cannot recall who started
this, but it was an interesting thread. However I agree with Allen point of
view.

ps : my main problem is the code ending with ] ] ] (as in the following code
from Joel Neely's RF article). These are not natural for me (sorry joel).
nbt: func [b [block!] /local rt cur pen front ]
[ rt: 0 cur: b pen: []
forever
[ either empty? cur
[ either empty? pen
[ return rt]
[ cur: first pen pen: second pen]
][ either block? front: first cur
[ pen: reduce [next cur pen] cur: front]
[ rt: rt + front cur: next cur]
] ] ]
