I can see your point and perhaps I am being cynical - maybe the request
had some legitimate intent. But still, the request is a bit vague which
makes it difficult to point in the right direction. If it's "I want to
look at how other people code in Ada" it may be one thing. If it's "I
want a large body of Ada code to test my Ada parser against" that might
be different. I can also see how it might be "I want to see lots of
source code because I have an assignment to write a gazorenthorpe
routine and I'll bet someone with a large project already did one of
those..." But that's thinking along the lines of expecting the worst out
of people. :-)
