C'mon, this is the worst troll I've ever seen here. Don't encourage
this person... just ignore it.
2. RE: EU is a disaster!
Hello, all.
My fault. A newspaper here in Buenos Aires published a small note of mine
that mentioned the "Find Duplicate Files" program, and also encouraged
contacting the EU site.
Apparently, this person did so, and was "not satisfied" with it.
I hope some other people from Argentina will be attracted to the language
and make useful contributions.
Sorry for the "mala sangre" (distress) this episode had occasioned, if any.
Regards.

No problem. He was probably jealous because he couldn't create anything
himself It's obvious from reading his post that he knows nothing about
either Euphoria or C, and most likely knows very little about programming
in general. Once he grows up, he may change his opinion.

Well, I don't know. I am assuming he is from Argentina because his e-mail
ends in .ar, and this happened just after my note appeared in the newspaper.
But I have the slightest idea of whom he is. Several people contacted me
after that, because my e-mail was included in the note, and it might even be
that he was one of them.
Regards.
