The entropy on this list is increasing. Please stop sending messages on self reproducing code. Daniel

Date: Wed, 12 Oct 88 11:25:13 MDT From: carr%car@cs.utah.edu (Harold Carr) On the contrary, I want to receive as many replies as possible on self-reproducing code, so please do send more if it doesn't duplicate any previous submissions. Thank you, Harold I agree with Daniel. If you want to talk about self reproducing code, make your own mailing list. This stuff has little or nothing to do with Scheme. Please remember that this is an ENORMOUS mailing list (hundreds of people). The subscribers to this list are expecting topics pertaining to Scheme. They have a right to be annoyed when a digression exceeds a few messages (this one is already in the tens).

OK, even though this list is pretty quiet most of the time, it looks as if Chris and Daniel would like it to remain that way. But please, feel free to continue sending examples of self reproducing code directly to me (I never said cc to scheme@mc.lcs.mit.edu in the first place). Thanks for the replies so far, and sorry for "annoying" anyone else. Harold Carr

Harold, perhaps the best way to do it is to collect all examples of self-reproducing programs or whatsoever and to distribute the commented list through the scheme mailing list... I think that most of the people listening to it are in fact interested in the examples, but are not willing to step through each of the messages. Of course, its a problem with the cc message field...
