There is no good reason to execute a lambda function after the

The original poster was so ignorant that he knew nothing
whatsoever about Usenet; in fact, he may not have known that
he was posting to Usenet.  Consequently, each paragraph in
his post was one gigantic line.  I broke his line for him.

In this and other posts he has provided evidence that he
is ignorant about higher-level languages and higher-level
programming concepts.  In fact, he has shown that he finds
high-level concepts difficult or impossible to grasp.
