   While I agree that having at least push and pop instructions would be   
   beneficial, I hardly think that is the most "bizarre" and less than   
   useful aspect of John's architecture.  After all, both of those   
   instructions can be accomplished by two "standard" instructions, a store   
   and an add (for push) and a load and subtract (for pop).  Interchange   
   the add and the subtract if you want the stack to grow in the other   
   direction.   
      
   Of course, you are free to stop contributing on this topic, but I, for   
   one, will miss your contributions.
