i think that most of things discussed here pertain strictly to cl. also implementing some random minimal lisp does not make you an expert in common lisp at all. try to implement common lisp and tell me how it goes

What a bizarre argument. Have you implemented Common Lisp yourself? If not then you know nothing about Lisp then?

but it was you who claimed to be an expert in lisp and said that you implemented several lisps in support of that claim

I made no claims to be an expert in Lisp.

you claimed you know it well. i think it is an acceptable synonym
