What might stop? I see one technical post every one or few weeks from Xah, followed by a dozen posts from self-appointed library-sushers such as Eli and library-shusher-shushers such as you and me, none of which are technical. The one technical post, whatever one thinks of it, creates no problem; what part of if you find the content worthless, just ignore it is not understood? Nothing, actually. The respondents just like shushing people. Back on topic for just a moment, Tilton's Law of Programming applies: Solve the real problem. So kudos for your shusher-shushing but... ...reporting Xah to spamcop would be an abuse of spamcop. Reporting Eli, yourself, and me, however, would be perfectly reasonable. :) love, peace, and quiet, kenny -- Cells: http://common-lisp.net/project/cells/ Have you ever been in a relationship?

If I see someone throwing garbage on the street, should I ignore it? It will blow away, or the street cleaners will pick it up. I do not ignore it. ...reporting Xah to spamcop would be an abuse of spamcop. You're mistaken. I don't report Xah to spamcop. Spamcop has nothing to do with Xah.

Xah is trolling, you know it, I know it. No, I do not know it. I have checked out his web site, and have been involved in threads with him on comp.lang.lisp. He takes seriously what he writes. whatever you think of it. and if he were a troll, he would respond to each and every shusher to increase the flames. in this case he just responded to someone who threatened him. meanwhile, some other genius has just shushed him.

He writes up a rant, and let others do the flaming. He probably saves up his energy for the next rant. Like someone else wrote: put it on a website (he already does). Turn it into a blog, make people comment. But stop cross posting rants. in this case he just responded to someone who threatened him. Maybe because he got a not so nice email from his hosting provider ;-) -- John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ personal page: http://johnbokma.com/ Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
