Greetings, and a question about sequences.

Hello,
I didn't say Logan should youse one or the other. I just know, that he 
even didn't ask ALL OF YOU what he should use. He came to learn how to 
do this and this in Maxima; in turn you suggest he'd not use Maxima at 
all! I thought this were a Maxima developers list.
When someone comes here with a precise question about Maxima, why do you 
teach him living???
