Why don't you use Cobol then? BTW, the method is questionable: I see
quite the same "decline" in another number of languages (which might
just indicate a trend away from source (like usenet) which Google can
analyze efficiently). I seriously doubt thet Google trends means much
and if it does, we don't know what exactly.

Please ignore me :-). I just noticed that I probably transplanted this
thread from c.l.l to c.l.f. Since I don't post on c.l.l I can't very
well give an answer and certainly not at c.l.f which (I think) should
not be abused to wage wars that cannot be waged in c.l.l.
So, em, sorry.
Regards -- Markus

highest regard have praised some of his work. That goes
a fair way in my book"
In your book, that may be a glowing testimonial...
Personally, I prefer to be judged on exactly what I write.
Every single word in that sentence was chosen with care.

Yes, yes, I completely understand that, you're so right, somebody
needs to take the part of blockwart in c.l.l and protect the common
lisp citizen ... -- uh wait, this is c.l.f, isn't it? One wonders: How
did this thread escape to c.l.f? The usenet seems to be full of
miracles. And what does that make your machinations, one starts to
wonder, too.

fixed in almost no time.

This approach was attempted numerous times to the amphibian in question,
all with absolutely no results. Not even acknowledgement.
At first glance, postings from the swamp appear reasonable. But long
experience has shown c.l.l that there is no interest in truth from the
mud and muck, only propaganda and advertising. Hence: spammer.
Which is all the more frustrating when people like you attempt to take the
"reasonable" tone of assuming the best intentions, instead of the worst.
We've been through that path before. It doesn't end well (for us).
