The Origins of R

<snip>
Those of us on this list (with the possible exception of one or
two nutters) would take it that it goes without saying that R was
developed on the basis of S --- we all ***know*** that.

Just want to clarify that the nutters referred to here are not
the same as the Nutters that bear my name :-)

Surely the Nutters are a Movement or a Party[1] whose members
are nutters?

[1] In the UK we have long had the Monster Raving Loony Party,
    which (at least in a 1990 bye-election) made a serious dent
    in the political scene.
