 From http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=shill

"Shill. n. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic
gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle."

So your question is, am I a shill? And you ask because, like others, I
believe AllegroCL to have the best IDE?

Have you used both AllegroCL and Lispworks? How much? Were you not
impressed with AllegroCL's IDE and other qualities? Where do you see
them falling short of Lispworks?

Also, do you like programming? Do you appreciate things which make your
life easier? Do you like turning others on to those useful things?
