Ouch, never be sarcastic/ironic on e-mail. I completely agree with
you. I though that was clear by my "Oh..." comment which you had
cut away. The point was: _i_ actually want to customize everything
via scheme-scripts (that is true), which Tim Hockin made (some kind of)
a joke about. And by saying that I tried to express that what Tim Hockin
perhaps means is ridiculous, does perfectly makes sense for
other. We need to have choises/alternatives/anarchy/etc. because
we are all different, etc.
