Open question to Xarn, Chris Done and co

I'm just wondering do you feel a little bit embarrassed about having supported and read a book which has been deemed by its authors to be no longer relevant? I am of course referring to "SICP."

Eight months? The first mention of Xarn by name was in early March last year1, and the first mention of #sicp, of which he was a founding member, is two months earlier than that.2
Are you suggesting Xarn predated /prog/'s discovery of SICP? Because if you are, you are wrong.3 There were 1,864 mentions of SICP on /prog/ that predate the founding of #sicp, which is the earliest confirmed sighting we have of Xarn.

Christopher Done came later than Xarn, but still earlier than eight months ago.4
You need to read up on your history, my friend!
