   (1) That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.   
   (2) I only look at comp.theory.

   After 15 emails? The problem is that the x86 language is   
   a dead language. I will reformulate using a C interpreter.

   It was my own words that I spent two years carefully   
   crafting that he agreed with.   
      
   The first paragraph (that Ben and no one else agreed with)   
   has only a single correct interpretation.

   So you are the second person out of dozens and dozens   
   that agree with Ben? That is a good sign.
