What do you mean, CLHS says otherwise? See http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/03_ddab.htm And why is this in pro@? -- With best regards, Stas.

What do you mean, CLHS says otherwise? See http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/03_ddab.htm Good catch. And yet... http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/03_dd.htm And yet, what? Nothing stated there contradicts the previous section. And why is this in pro@? Because I am a pro (albeit a small one) and this is a matter of inconsistencies in the spec? It would appear to me that questions, which could be resolved by careful reading of the spec, are out of scope of this mailing list, but what do I know? -- With best regards, Stas.

On such a low traffic mailing list, with such a small community, I don't see what the problem is, and hostility won't help. Saying that it's off-topic, explaining why and suggesting an alternative list is fine, but there are tactful means to do it... -- Matt
