Someone asks why we Ada enthusiasts don't post in the C newsgroups.
My reason is that I am so sick of the C enthusiasts posting in the Ada group
that I would not want to commit the same sin.
I read comp.lang.ada because I'm interested in Ada. The language wars are
offensive. If you think C is a better language than Ada, post *that* in the
C newsgroups.
I agree with the general point that Ada people should get more information
out into the general community. However, stuff about the joys of language
X in the language Y newsgroup is a disservice.
