Assuming comp.lang.ada represents a community, and "extensive participation"
implies majority consent that the thread is acceptable to them, sounds
reasonable to me...

In other words, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Personally, I prefer the
alternate view -- that professional engineers (software or otherwise) have
some responsibility to encourage good behaviors in those working to become
(or remain) professionals.
