Hm.
What's wrong with
condemned become: cadaver
with a not too persistent set of cadavers around?
OK, OK, I am not entirely serious.
Anyway, as we know, this thread started with an utterly mad posting about
a way to penalize Smalltalk by some "Pro-Life" sect.
Imagine now with what *horror* I discovered that the HTTPLoader class has
a method called "abort"! Now, for sure, we all go to Hell.
So, before it happens, I wish Merry Christmas to all of you.
