Then that was the right place to post your answer.
It's generally considered a good idea to lurk a little while in an online community, to see the local standards. If you had done so, you'd have seen that people don't post "standard techinques or code snippets" to StackOverflow-- they ask questions they don't know the answer to, and try to answer other's questions.
If you want to help folks on SO with Lisp, you can try to answer some of the genuine questions that have been asked.

I did check the FAQ, at least, and concluded that this was a legitimate post. I think there's an unanswered need, here. It's a problem of search. You want the first search result in google to be a small, rock-solid code snippet. Small, because small is simple, and small can be perfect. Longer code samples introduce too many degrees of freedom. Small samples can be unambiguously correct (for a specific purpose). This doesn't mean they're trivial. Anyhoo. If this isn't what Stack Overflow is, someone should make it...
