Because many persons here are not professional programmers but 
occasional dabblers in code , but they call themselves experts. As for 
myself I'm an advance dabbler although I've written quite a few complex 
Forth applications in the past and have some complex ones planned for 
the future.

On ANS Forth I'm zero of an expert and don't intend to be, what is the 
point of supporting a standard that so ambiguous about so many issues. 
So in the "spirit of Forth" I do my own thing and not worry about 
standards. My two standards for Forth are MPE Forth for serious work and 
even dabbling, for FPGAs Forth CPUs I need a Forth that is lightweight 
and easily migrated to a new CPU so I use a special eForth version for that.
