CL vs scheme

Phil Greenspun has an amusing anecdote of his troubles with MIT Scheme, from, I guess, around 1990, and including an unwise declaration from Gerald Sussmann. Not terribly conclusive, but I'd like to collect similar anecdotes, if anyone has some. Via lemonodor.

[edit: CL <-- CLisp following Pascal's comment in thread]

Why not?

I thought it was a natural forum topic, but I'm happy to see it on the frontpage.

OK

i saw it before and decided not post about it. But if the two of us stumbled upon it, and spent time reading it, we might as well post it to the home page.

Don't say CLisp when you don't mean it...

It's unfortunate that you said "CLisp" in the title when you actually meant "Common Lisp". CLISP is a concrete implementation of Common Lisp, and it's not a good idea to confuse the two names.
