It's the bit where you left out: "We have no real love of Windows
operating systems, so we kinda forgot to mention them on our main home
page, even though a dozen different flavours of Linux and BSD get
separate mentions. <tongue in cheek>But this is OK because we have a
perfectly good, though secret, rationale we can dust off if anyone
notices and comments on it.</tongue in cheek>"

But hey, I don't blame you either way. I only use Windows myself when I
absolutely have to.

By the way, I noticed you added a nice bold note on win32! Way to go! (I
did notice, though, that you couldn't bring yourself to give it a
capital letter... Freudian slip? ;-))

If I wanted to accuse you of lying, I wouldn't be beating around the
bush.

Sure, if you can create a few more hours in the day for me... of course,
I would have to finish the two dozen or so queued projects first!

Happy lisping,
