Nah. Who invents such distorted examples only to prove himself right :-). I think you can catch more girls with honey and I'm not sure if I'd like to catch those who prefer vinegar. I think we can make it into some kind of law, say Angelico-Rola Law (of girlscatching), ok? "One cannot catch a girl on honey without catching some flies in the process." Or is it a hypothesis? > I don't see much value in Xah Lee's posts, myself; if he wants to use > LISP and hate Python then he's free to, but why ramble about it on > this list? Well, it is strange because about half of his every post are filled up with f and sh words. Even I feel a bit dirty after reading them (and I swear without giving it much of second thought). Myself, I think I shouldn't try too hard to understand his motives - because one can easily become what one understands. Especially that he doesn't seem to be interested in getting feedback, so chances are there is some force of chaos behind all this. Or his feelings have been hurt by Lisp/Python/Emacs/Perl community (but I couldn't care less, really). Either way, I greet Xah for taking my mind off a subject of writing some piece of code that should have been written a while ago :-).
