But that's not important right now. Lines: 30 Category 10, Topic 39 Message 60 Sat Apr 27, 1991 GARY-S at 06:39 EDT Jax - There is a time and place for everything. When ANSForth is in its embryonic state _is_ the right time. That is why it is titled draft proposed, not draft accepted. In written form before the Technical Committee is the legitimate place, but here before our peers in the electronic cottage you yourself have boisterously championed is also a legitimate place for opposing views. That is precisely why Brad Rodriguez is the May 16 GEnie conference guest. The loyal opposition also has a messsage, and I happen to disagree with your attempts to shout them down with your 'IMPLIMENT OR SHUTUP' decree. Once all arguments have been heard and a final draft has been finalized, then it is time to get on with our respective knitting. This is not that time. This _IS_ the time and this _IS_ the place to reflect on and discuss the merits of dpANSForth. dp, Jax. Gary __ _ Gary Smith * ... uunet!ddi1!lrark!glsrk!gars * / _' _ _ (_' P. O.
