Drives ya crazy, doesn't it? :) I was just trying to sucker someone into
pointing out that I had not answered it. I guess you win. Have a seat.

Never let the meatheads set the debate. I chose to make the question
itself the object of inquiry. It was a bullsh*t question, insulting to
myself and Franz and most Franz employees. The question did not make
sense, and flew in the face of the very simple fact that no one has ever
doubted that Franz has a fine IDE, and that many besides myself consider
it the Cadillac of Lisps. I guess you missed some of the traffic, btw,
or you would have understood that. And seen the answer to the question:
neither.

But me and Wade are old c.l.l. buddies and he did his best to make up by
saying he simply confused me with Dubbya. Now I am really pissed off...
