If Hugh's not the key part of the "barking mad 'Murrican" crowd and I'm not, who is? ... I have to take issue with that though. The people here who *seem* to be Americans to me based on verbiage also *seem* very sane except Hugh or rickman. E.g., these people seem sane and seem to be American: Mark Wills, Paul Rubin, Andrew Haley, JennyB, Ron Aaron, Julian Fondren, Jason Damisch, Josh Grams, Richard Owlett, etc ... So, are you calling them barking mad or just Hugh and rickman? I think the remainder of the "barking mad 'Murricans" you refer to are actually Brits or U.K residents ... s/"a couple of barking mad 'Murricans"/"a bunch of drunk nutjob in the UK"/ > a pitchfork wielding Scotsman I don't know who that is. Is that supposed to be you? Hey, if you want to spend your time standing in the middle of a field at night with a pitchfork while it's pouring rain holding a lantern, like a creepy character in a horror movie, that's your business. > and a few hundred lurkers.

Well, he codes like John Passaniti, but it's Alex Wegel who is emotionally messed up over past Passaniti issues. It's likely JP is posting under multiple aliases ... That would fit his psychopath personality type. > Rod: Lover of C, a venerable lady of great age quite past her prime. What? You mention me in regards to C, but not Paul Rubin? Even Anton Ertl has to use C for gForth. Are you going to bitch at Anton over that decision? ... > Gavino: Forth master, known for his Zen-like questions. > Only appears during the interval. I take it "Forth Master" was deep tongue-in-cheek. You could've said Mentifex where it might've been at least half true, but he has no Zen-like questions. Well, you clearly forgot some of the recurring characters. I keep pointing out your memory issues, but you fail to listen. Anton Ertl, Alex McDonald (you, unless you decided that you're the wierd and creepy Scotsman...), rickman, Mentifex, and apparently the entire Russian nation. Sort your replies some time. It's not just a Dutch nation thing. Of course, I see why you didn't mention rickman since he only discuesses microprocessors and is otherwise ignored. But, most importantly, how could you forget Anton Ertl? Shouldn't he have been "King" to Ms. Rather's "Queen"? And, were you conflating Dutch with Austrian? Seems so ... So, I think you need to rework your post for some *exceptionally* long rudeness this time. Rod Pemberton
