Probably more than you think. Alas, people don't ever seem to have anything to
POST to comp.lang.forth, even when given something to respond to. For example,
I posted a request for the address of the Forth Interest Group. To the sound
of null silence. I eventually found it in the back of a FORTH book in the
library. I guess it's because Forth is a dying language except on
microwave controller chips... after all, who would want to write unreadable
FORTH programs, when they can write unreadable "C" programs instead?!
