Yes, please. And this is coming from someone who's not allergic to
chewing a topic up thoroughly (when it is _warranted_). Watching this
thread, I've been mystified as to what, if anything, it has to do with
either Ada, C, or C++ (the newsgroups it's been cross-posted to).  The
participants in this discussion have demonstrated that there is an
abundant supply of cerebral power available to be tapped out there, but
could we please redirect the sheer torque of this mental dynamo back to
leveraging the _technology_ in question here: [insert your favorite
language]? :-) Thank you.
