I disagree. I think criticism of PostScript and negative opinions should
be welcome, especially when they are founded. In my case, they don't
diminish my enthusiasm about the language at all. But in any case, by
request, he's mainly restricting criticism to this thread, so if you
don't like to read it, why don't you just ignore the thread? Any
newsreader should have that capability.
