I contribute], I would be in big trouble for spending so much time here"
                                                  several Tcl developers

Every time I show someone how to set up a socket listener in Tcl
and compare it with what they've learned in C, they are convinced I
left something out."  Roland B. Roberts

"There are rocks less solid than that."  Cameron Laird, on Expect

"This is truly a great development community.  With your help I learned
some Tcl this year, and developed apps that allowed us to beat out vendor
proposals and efforts (VB, Java, C++, other)."  Rael

"We should make Tcl/Tk very difficult. People would be proud then that
they have mastered it."  Arjen Markus
