For my part, discussions of just a design, with no code, would be
fine, provided some reasonably comprehensible description of that
design is forthcoming. So far, that has not happened. I have provided
thunk with some (hopefully constructive) criticisms of what his
writings and suggestions of how to improve them. But it doesn't seem
to have done any good. He seems to be one of those people who, when
someone says something he does not want to hear, it goes in one ear
and right out the other.
