Hi Mark

The way you keep bringing up Lisp, λ-calculus, etc completely without relevance
to anything, I wonder if you had a bad experience with someone teaching these
and thereabouts?

Everyone knows that the average student is below average.
More true for the average teacher

Yeah disasters (of all shapes and colors) strike and leave us scarred.
Isn't it more intelligent to pick up the pieces and move on than to keep 
putting salt on the scars?

what you want to say
