this kind of thing is generally best ignored,
but let me point out that Lynx 2-8 is not "Mr Dickey's",
but results from  1 year's  programming effort & widespread discussion
by quite a few people.
TD has been good enough to shoulder the burden of co-ordinating the task
of turning those efforts into a new release & deserves only thanks.

if Mr Sokolov is indeed clever enough, we shall expect to see him
produce a better version of his own in the near future.
