"I suspect I was coding ALC when you were in training pants." Well, I, former software engineer, was stumped, so I looked it up: en.wikipedia.org This one sounded likely, but it was just adopted as "experimental" in 2002, so that couldn't be it. en.wikipedia.org Frankly, I'm still stumped. Sounds like bullshit.

"I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I found no evidence of anything that would have triggered any "anti-spam" filters." What evidence is that? Oh, yeah. Just making it up. "I suspect I was coding ALC when you were in training pants." Unless you coded for the IBM 650, you are as wrong about that as much of what else you post. I date back to Amdahl 470 V/6 with punch cards and PDP8's with KSR 33s. My first personal computer was based on a CDP1802 that I built from a kit.
