Janne,

if I had my own specification I wouldn't have bothered looking for the 
creole specification, and if the creole specification had been a 
specification I wouldn't have then have found myself writing my own, and 
if I wanted to write my own specification I wouldn't be really pissed 
off with having to write a specification ...

but to be honest, I really like you because you are willing to speak 
your mind and contribute (even though it is to insult me) and if there 
were a lot more people with your passion there would be a creole 
specification!


Of course you must realise that my real aim is to annoy the wiki 
"community" so much that you all see me as a hate figure!

... and there is nothing like a common hate figure to galvanise a group 
Which is hopefully, all the creole project needs to take that step and 
produce a real specification!

Mike
