MisQuote me out of context, changing the humour to bitchy

Well, Im certainly not the one to say yes or no to this Idea, but I'll
make people use STk if this ISNT done. At least 2. So Y'all have more to
gain from doing nothing, not to mention you can actually work on
things that appeal to a broad audience of tcl haters who made you
great in the first place. No sympathy for the humour devoid and tcl
impaired masses.
As for your point.. I prefer to write Modula-3, but I'm not about to
ask for MST-3k.
