It's a joke, and it's been going on for a *very* long time :-) Every time someone mentions hal, and it doesn't matter what it's about, either me or Neil will usually post and and tell Dale now is his chance to tell us about hal. We've done this about 100 times by now so nothing Dale says is new :-) And everyone else usually joins in the fun. Sometimes, just for fun, we'll turn the hal joke into something against perl, or python or anything else really. If you don't get the joke, you can ignore everything that happened after the first person mentioned "Dale" -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
