His free lisp stuff wasn't blocked by robots.txt and is available in the wayback machine.. Otherwise, we're legally out of luck.

Tony retired?
From programming or belittling others?

Looks like Tony went "offline" in May. I don't know if the man is retired, sick or otherwise, but I wish him well and thank him for his body of work. Regarding belittling et al. ... meh, none of us are perfect and I prefer not to dwell on to that aspect of him -- it is symptomatic of a perfectionist, a payload that came with that great body of work. Subtitle: He lacked grace, we don't have to.

His last post on the AdeskGroups was over 11mo ago (09-05-2010).

As for his examples, even though they were excellent, we (and others I'm sure) avoided them for legal reasons.

Would not use them and do not want to just for reference and learning.

He took the time to help me when I first started and I'll always remember him for that.
Hope all is well with him.

I don't think he was that belittling at all. I liked his humor. People are way to soft if you ask me.

Agreed. When I was younger, I shared an office with an Engineer in his late 30s. Few liked dealing with him because of his crass nature and bluntness. One day someone asked him something about a set of plans, after his pause, they told him "I can handle the truth", to which he replied with "no, that's the problem, you can't. I'll tell you want I think and you'll say 'f** you Bill' and run off". People claim they want honesty, but when it comes down to it, they want everything sugar coated and remain inside their plastic bubble.

I like the guy; he and I would have gotten along just fine.

If you want to debate this further, then please post your reply in the 'you-are-wrong-and-I-am-right-because-that's-what-autodesk-says' newsgroup.

You have to admit that was funny (or is it still too soon?).
