In fact it does.  The topic is a comparison of Eiffel's selective export
with corresponding features in Ada.

Colin, I recognize your right to disagree with me about what is and is
not of interest to readers of comp.lang.eiffel.  I do not recognize your
self-appointed role as gatekeeper of that newsgroup.

When you come across an article that is not of interest to you, I think
you will find it takes far less energy to skip over it than to continue
posting your "Refrain from posting" messages, and certainly far less
energy than you expended on Friday to determine my chain of management
and send an amusing 4-page fax to a vice president four levels up the
chain.  (While I'm sure that my manager appreciated your advice that
"Cohen averages about 1-article per workday, ie, apparently Cohen needs
more work assignments and tighter supervision," he seems to have reached
a different conclusion.  Perhaps your fax alleging inappropriate posting
to Usenet groups would have had more credibility if it had not included a
copy of your own posting telling me to go to hell.)
