Uh.....whats so bad about this? Is it wrong to make money? And to market
and advertise what ever makes more money? Whats wrong with that? Is it
DDC-I's, or any other vendor, responsibibity to uphold, cherish, and
promote Ada? Or is it their responsibility to make money? Or Both? Or a
combination of both? 

Or cherish, worship, and promote Ada for the good of the country, mom and
apple pie, and to save this country from the deficit evils, promote
commonality, blah blah, blah, blah; all while losing a load of money?
NOT!!!!!

Why should DDC-I, any other vendor, or any other person put up such a
galant and noble fight? Especially while Greg is around to do it for us.
Shoot, why lose money when Greg can do it just as well and by himself? :-)

Keep up the good work Greg!
