although I mostly program in Scheme and Emacs Lisp, I do have an 
interest in other languages of Lisp family.

- Do you use Lisp: 
  - at work (if so, how much) : 
yes, 95% of my time

occasionally

occasionally

  If not, why not?

  Misconceptions about Lisp are probably the biggest one. And the fact 
that it's not main stream...

  Of course!

  If so, where and how often? 
  If not, would you be interested in such meetings?
