    The original poster was so ignorant that he knew nothing
    whatsoever about Usenet; in fact, he may not have known that
    he was posting to Usenet. Consequently, each paragraph in
    his post was one gigantic line. I broke his line for him.

    In this and other posts he has provided evidence that he
    is ignorant about higher-level languages and higher-level
    programming concepts. In fact, he has shown that he finds
    high-level concepts difficult or impossible to grasp.

    (define fib0 (make-fib-gen))
    (define fib1 (make-fib-gen))

    Can we keep it civil? There is (mostly) no need to be calling people
    names.

    And you are correct - most people today who do post to Usenet do so
    through web gateways. Being a gmail address, the poster probably was
    on Google Groups. Thankfully GG has been shut down.
