I can follow your point of view, but maybe it is a question about
angle.
resetly there have been an performanse argue about Ada against
Fortran77.
If The quetioner instaed haed made a question like:" how do i

There are som very special mecanims in usenet, i. e. If you want
too be sure to get a good response, you can have a friend to make
a deliberatly wrong response, then things will accellerate.
