Uhhh, that would probably be rather tough for Andrzej, as he never made
that claim in the first place. Please get snitty at the guilty party
(me) rather than some innocent but curious bystander.

As for me, I never stated it as fact, only as "my understanding". If I
was claiming it to be a fact as you try to imply I was doing, then I
would not have qualified the statement.

Again, it was *my* post, and the source of my (mis?)understanding was
one of the last postings that Magnus made here, on 12/16/1998, an exerpt
of which follows:

Incorrect.  The Ada Home is still being maintained.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to find people who work for free year
after year, even to expand and improve a popular Web site.

Now that the US government/DoD has stopped giving money to the
AJPO/AdaIC for Web presence, maybe there are companies willing to
sponsor the work that is needed to maintain such a site.

Santa Claus, are you out there?
