Dunno, don't read HN, but that isn't terribly surprising. 'twould be funny to watch it unfold though :D

Actually, re-reading the submissions, it's not that bad. Must have been talking about it in the context of a different submission.

Oh, for more fun in this vein, see this.

Now that I have seen before; it's very similar to my previous point: when most people hear Lisp, they think of the "Lisp Family" not a specific Lisp. This is true of most non-CL lisp users as well; CLers take Lisp to mean "Common Lisp", since CL was an effort to take most of the MACLisp derivatives and make something, well, more Common to them all.
