I'm not offended.  You'll have to try harder.

My interests are fairly academic and language-oriented,
and I attended less than half of the presentations, but
here were some of the speakers and talks I thought were
especially worthwhile:

John Allen.  History, Mystery, and Ballast.
Jerry Boetje.  Unicode 4.0 in Common Lisp.
Paul Dietz.  The GNU ANSI Common Lisp Test Suite.
Bert Halstead.  Curl: A Content Language for the Web.
James McDonald.  Correctness-by-Construction is in your future.
J Strother Moore.  A Mechanized Program Verifier.
Per Bothner.  Mixing Lisps in Kawa.
Patrick Dussud.  Re-inventing Lisp for Ubiquity.
Henry Baker.  The Legacy Of Lisp.

Moore's presentation was outstanding.  Baker didn't
have time to present more than a fraction of the ideas
on his slides, which I look forward to studying.  It
was nice to hear John McCarthy, but the questions and
answers were the most interesting part of that session.

Will
