promoting newLISP on USENET

[m i c h a e l]

Benjamin,



Your attempts to have a dialog with the bloviators at c.l.l, while admirable, seem a terrible waste of your precious time. I think you'd have as much success trying to reason with the Ku Klux Klan about race equality.



Also, your interpretation of Lutz's response may have been incorrect. He didn't say it wasn't a bug, but merely that the newLISP-GS monitor was less capable than the terminal.

There is a more professional (and sane ;p) way to go about this... Many computer software developers use Gmane (pronounced "main")...

And best of all, Gmane already has 245 LISP groups!!!

Although I'll admit that I'm a Fan Club "Fan Boy" and like things the way they are ;)

...wanted a dialect-specific newsgroup where I could discuss the issue and have a high probability of getting feedback specifically from newLISP users.

Have you considered pursuing scripting language related newsgroups? We know there is some bitter opposition to having newLISP related at all to its predecessors of similar syntax. Perhaps in the scripting genre you would be able to focus more on the inherent usefulness of the language instead of being bogged down with all that LISP resentment.
