We have been very careful not to post announcements of
our own classes and products on c.l.a to avoid offending
those who dislike such things. However, I personally
appreciate the job postings by brain transplant specialists,
even if they are professional recruiting firms. Also, I would
like to see more announcements from compiler publishers about
new versions of compilers, new platforms, etc. That seems to
me to be actual news related to Ada. This is a news forum as well
as a discussion group, not so?
