Wrong. Please go back and read my orginal post, This is precisely the claim i
refuted then. In fact i alluded to this in the last paragraph of my post,
neither the Man package, nor the W3 package, nor the original emacs interface
to the system my backend is for are figments of my imagination.
I am familiar with both the Emacs features nntp uses (it doesn't actually use
process filters any more, read the code) and with threaded environments.
Threaded environments do not change what is possible, they only make
implementing asynchronous interfaces easier and more natural, it is entirely
possible to implement what i described without a threaded elisp interpreter, i
explained how in my post last September.
