Sorry, Robert. This is a reasonable expectation only for folks like you
and me (and other regulars) who have hung around this group and
the Ada community for years.
We bemoan Ada's lack of acceptance; we can contribute a good deal to Ada's
acceptance by being very careful to be polite to newbies who may not
be up to date on what's 83 and what's 95. Some of them even spell the
name wrong.
It really is not that much work to be nice to these guys. The Ada community
is far too incestuous; let's make sure we are not acting as our own
enemy. Flip remarks about "obsolete languages" really aren't helpful.
