This is the second condescending followup of this style.
What the heck do you know about the reliability of the ETH
implementation of MacOberon in particular -- or of any other
ftp'able software, for that matter?!  (For example, I have been
using the ftp'able MIT C-Scheme implementation for my introduction
to knowledge based systems, and with one exception we have never
had any problems with it.)

So, please, do _us_ a favor and don't broadcast your condescending
advice to the net at large.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the ETH Oberon implementations.
