I'm surprised you don't know the answer or, more likely, can't
remember it.  FYI, I've answered that question a dozen times now,
and again for "visual..." whatever monicker guy.

Of course, for each of the people who have asked me that,
except the new "visual..." whatever monicker guy, I have
asked the following or something similar to it:

If you don't post any Forth code, don't help new people when they
request it, mostly discuss ancient Forth history and argue about
trivial specification semantics, then why are *you* here?

You could've provided useful posts to the new people but didn't.
Instead, you were spending your time arguing with Anton and Bernd.
So, if you don't like simply seeing informative responses from
me, you could've replied.
