Ack, we already have one troll on c.l.l. I don't think we need
another one. Although I think "Vain" Every is more of a troll than
Yaas.

c.l.l. seems to be lower volume that c.l.p., but those dudes are hella
smart. These are the only two groups I actively watch.

I honestly don't think "Vain" Every would ever be able to understand
Lisp, even if he read ten books. He can't even grasp the simple truth
behind open source. The beauty and power of Lisp are far beyond his
reach I suspect.

Aha, this explains why you have so much time for usenet; you are
rebuilding all the time.

The most recent Google Groups posting for him is Jan. 13 2003.
comp.lang.lisp has since settled down into discussion that are <shock,
horror> mostly about Lisp, not about newsgroup etiquette, Scheme/Lisp
flamewars, and personal attacks.

It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.

That's great news. I haven't checked c.l.l. for several months.
Didn't think such a complete turnaround was possible. Sounds like
this is no longer the best spot for Mr. Van Avery.
