- Thanks, Larry, for clearing up my name. May I say it's an honour to have the
- same name as your language? I've read a bit about it, and once I even wrote a
- small script with it. So thanks for the language too.
-
- Oh, BTW, I got my name long before the language. And although I have access to
- the newsgroups, I don't have an email account; hence the "nobody" Reply-To.
