Good grief Mark!  I dropped it because we were
talking in circles and you really weren't making
any sense.  I figured why waste each others time.
Anyway you're right, Jonah was saying that a Forth
browser (well actually a browser built on
a 3 screen TCP stack.  Forth wasn't the point.)
wouldn't be able to do much.  Sam, myself (and I
GUESS you) disagree with that point.  Yet you're
arguing with the people that actually AGREE with
that part of your argument.  That's just plain
odd.

And someone is reaching through your the Internet,
grabbing your keyboard and forcing you to do things
you don't want to do.  Man, TCP really IS a monster!
I honestly don't see what your point is to some of
these "responses".  For instance why was it again
that you take exception to Sam's 5 block estimate
for wget?  Is it that you don't believe Chuck's
3 block estimate for TCP?  Or do you not think
that wget might be built from another 2 blocks?
