Consider all the positive publicity that I've drawn to Smalltalk in just the

Up until recently, Smalltalk has been all but forgotten in the IT community
at large. Do you need evidence?

Consider that organizations such as the Smalltalk Foundation or ESUG have

You have no conception of the amount of work I've put into the SRP. You are��quick to dismiss it all as, what, hot air?

The other thing is... ��you don't see much other people on the list bemoaning that they've done so much.�� Constructively, I'd ask you to pay attention to this...��
