comp.lang.tcl is not a particularly well-suited place for an argument
about whether C or Scheme is a better teaching language.  (For that
matter, probably neither are gnu.misc.discuss, comp.windows.x.apps, or
comp.unix.misc.)

Please keep it in comp.lang.scheme, or move it to comp.lang.c or
comp.edu or someplace else appropriate.  Thanks.
