If perhaps less unreasoned than a flame, this post, and especially your
contributions, has been extremely inflamatory. You're almost as bad as
JCL, you know. I only say he's worse because he's clever enough to get
away with it without anyone being the wiser. (Er...)

Your contributions and attempts to shake us up are often intelligent and
inspired. Unfortunately, your manner of delivery is too open and forward, 
and tends to offend. Hmph. Besides, natural language parsers are too an 
ideal solution, done properly. And there's nothing wrong with a well done
GUI.
