E-mails do not get answered, people have sent checks to have ads posted that were cashed (claim made on CLA) yet never placed up, there are more dead links then alive, and we can keep going. I didn't undertake The Ada Resource Treasury which later became AdaPower to replace AdaHome, but saddly, AdaHome has at this point become a site that damages the Ada community more then it helps by clearly giving it the apearance of a dead language and a dead community. It is a shame that Magnus has been unreachable (I haven't tried in the last year though). It would be better to trim down AdaHome to contents that is still current and link out to SigAda, AdaIC and AdaPower for more information. At least then AdaHome would not be damaging us and all the old links to AdaHome would lead to more up to date sites. David Botton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Dennison" > Incorrect.
