I've thought about this comment and I now realize that we probably owe JO a
bit of an apology. He did not storm over to comp.lang.scheme and post his
article. No, JO put his article on his own personal Web page. Geez, I wish
I had realized that when I opened my big mouth to respond to the post of
the person who DID storm over and put JO's text into the stronghold of the
Lisp faithful.  Anyway, a person has the right to put anything they want on
a personal Web page, and nobody, least of all moi, has the right to
interfere with that.
