He even points out some places where their numbers are And upon looking around, I found another page where they had a survey that put Ada on top. They "pulled it" because "obviously there was something wrong with our methods." To ensure better results, they assigned the job to Gaansle. Who managed to get Ada on the bottom. Looks like the picked the right guy for the job they wanted? Not that I am claiming Ada is really on top, but I kind of doubt it's on the bottom, either. Just that the attitude that they APPEAR to have guarantees bogus results. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
