I didn't know anything about them last week, so I didn't think I 
could reply properly. After looking into them today I just shook 
my head a lot. It's incredible the lengths that people go to 
justifying their pre-existing beliefs. At this point, I don't 
know how to convince the masses if "nanomsg in Python in 4 lines 
of code" isn't enough!
