My dearest Hamish:

Sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to your unfounded invectives
sooner, but I've been out of the paradigm for a couple of weeks.

I'm not sorry that you can't take a little conjecture from someone who
desires not to get into the morass of details involved in language design.

I'm sure you never did present a rational reason for opposing the
addition of pointers, and at this point in time (and cliche'), I really
don't care if you do.  You won't see this anyway, so it's academic, and
more so than usual.
