I think a gnu hierarchy would be a better place for any extension, because I have seen the mess comp.lang.pascal got into by being extended. Presumably people who get to a gnu hierarchy have some idea for finding their way around the hierarchy, but I think the comp.lang attracts more confused folks. I believe the rules require that addition of comp.lang.ada.whatever result also in relocation of comp.lang.ada to comp.lang.ada.something. I would hate to see mainstream Ada discussions demoted to a ".misc". Larry Kilgallen
