Before this discussion gets out of control (but thanks for enlightening me,
anyway ;-) ), I'd like to point out that the meaning of my original mail was
that I really cannot see any equivalence between Einstein's relativity theory
and REBOL, other than the word "relative". (Besides, as far as I remember,
"Relative Expression-Based Object Language" was made up _after_ the name
"REBOL" was decided upon...)

Sure, we all have our visions, but trying to sell a product from this kind of
claim is not fair (nor honourable), IMHO.

Anyway, I did mean the sentence "sorry about having that opinion", as I know
it's probably of the deepest irrelevance to the great people at REBOL Tech.
Anyway, now I've had room for my frustration ;-)

BTW, if REBOL Tech. _do_ want to cite Einstein, better make it "Everything
should be as simple as possible, but not simpler". That fits REBOL a lot
more, I guess.

Kind regards,
