I got an e-mail message saying that this subject is inappropriate to
comp.lang.lisp, and I think that's reasonable. Therefore I am
responding by e-mail to (some of) those who followed-up my post. I
won't post any more on this topic to this newsgroup.
Just a word in my defense though: He started it! I like reading Erik
Naggum's rants, and I only decided to respond to his off-topic
four-digit year rant after I'd read it in at least two or three posts
here.
