- I do not know, but I hope that if someone wants to "extend" it, he/she
- [a] does not misrepresent the original in any way, [for example, by calling

- reasons for extending, or to put it differently, gives at least as much
- thought as Pike did.

- I happen to think that the best thing to do is to borrow the good
- ideas from "sam", and rewrite it. [Peter DaSilva has all the fun]
