I hope most readers understand that this kind of innuendo is impossible to
reply to -- if there was no such report, how can you prove there wasn't, and
if some data was collected that wasn't used because it didn't have the
relevance that Greg thinks it had, how can you respond without looking like
you are covering up something really bad?   Talk about intellectual honesty!

P.S. It's amazing how the whole tone of comp.lang.ada improves if you put
/srctran/h:j in your KILL file.  It's really a rather technically oriented
and interesting newsgroup under these conditions.
