Wow ! Peace. I apologize. Didn't want to upset anyone. Of course it was my own 
ad lib interpretation of what Alan Kay said. That's what I meant by 
"sayings". But I should had been clearer. Anyway, it only implies myself.

I live at a place where it rains most of the time and my head is indeed in a 
place where the moon doesn't shine, which may give a good explanation of my 
own fundamental delirium. 

For another fundamental delirium (which I certainly enjoy), see :

Steve Wart about "why Smalltalk never caught on":

as someone named "Petite abeille" (a name I also certainly do find full of 
flavour) suggested me.

My deepest apologies,

Francis Girard
