I don't think I meant the phrase as a literal quotation, and I probably should not have put quotation marks around the phrase. However http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-17/mail-archive/msg00082.html comes pretty darn close to accusing me of abusing the process as well as intellectual dishonesty: "I personally am disappointed that the proponents of this SRFI have done little other than indicate it is good because it exists, while it exists because it is good. [Our objections] haven't ever been properly answered. ... I had hoped for a better discussion on a SRFI." "... the SRFI process allows strategies such this to succeed in producing final SRFIs. I hope it won't be repeated ..." If this is not an assusation of abusing the process, I don't know what is. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bothner.com/~per/
