Oops, I just realized that I sent the LyX list the generic description. I didn't mean to insult anyone's intelligence by telling what TeX, LaTeX and LyX are, nor by the sentence "If you need to write documents, and want those documents to be typeset uniformly and well, you should attend this presentation." This happened because I sent the boilerplate announcement to the LyX list.
