Thanks!  

And I want to give special thanks to Stef and to Alexandre Bergel for being
generous with their time in helping me with my advocacy.

It's just as you said, Offray: "We live in an attention economy" -- and the
competition is *fierce*!  

Yes this is what many smalltalking people forgot. Pharo is in competition against
many large languages and we are not concerned with the little fight about other dead smalltalk compatibilities. 


(I think it's worse when you're dealing with educated professionals -- they
work hard, they play hard, and there's little left over to "learn something
new" sometimes.  But I am not discouraged... I take the long view on this.
Computers taught me patience.  I'm using that now...  ;^)
