  This is really interesting.  I have logged an attempt to send mail
  from swm@mediaone.net via chmls06.mediaone.net [24.147.1.144] port
  42508 at 2000-07-01 23:40:41.218 UTC, and your posted this silliness
  2000-07-03 00:08:47 UTC, more than 24 hours later.  This is quite
  telling, actually, since you blithely assume that a problem properly
  reported (which a Lisp user did to another address (which anyone who
  knows about WHOIS would have found in no time), but another Dylan
  user whined about it in a very useless way in public) would not get
  fixed for 24 hours, even when it concerns such a terribly important
  basic network service as e-mail.

  With such an attitude towards software problems, nobody should care
  what that person might have to say about programming _languages_.
