If somebody likes to compare computer languages by way of a poll then APL is involved and related comments fit quite well in the news group. If it wouldn't then we would have APL and the rest of the world. I repeatingly see people try to preserve other people from doing things which are really harmless and not disturbing. Is this the "religious thread" some people talk about? I have in my news-setup 10 days for keeping messages. In cla the headers always fit on one page. And I feel no in the least obliged to read them all. In fact I have set "Mark as read after leaving a newsgroup" in my setup. BTW, the previous poster may learn in this specific case (ADA vs APL) a closer relation from Jack Rudd's contribution to APL93 (Toronto)
