So, Austin, Jon Cone puts a claim of 1000 gray tones and
you jump all over him to prove him claim.

Now, you make this claim:
"I've written a Lisp interpreter as well as a couple of C 
compilers."

I ask you to give the slightest evidence that this is true.  There
is no way someone could have "written a C compiler" and
not know some of the syntax.  I asked for a very small bit of
code to show that you know something about C.

Your evasiveness is amazing.  Frankly, I'm left with the thought
that you haven't the foggiest idea what the C language is,
and you're just going to try and bluff your way out of it.
