Classiccmp cartoon sighting

['Computer Collector Newsletter']

I'm just saying that the magazine caters to mostly a generic liberal arts
audience (and that's "liberal arts" in the field-of-study sense, not
"left-wing artists").  Readers in that audience are unlikely to know about
Fortran.  There's no reason for you to feel insulted.

Well, clearly John Allain was reading the New Yorker -- after all, he saw
the cartoon.  I'm also a reader.

I'm pretty sure both John and I know what Fortran is.

Any particular reason for your comment, or do you simply insult large groups
of people without thinking about it?
