The NetWorld article states that the USAF is using a commercial off the
software product.  In DoD it is standard operating procedure
to use COTS rather than constantly reinvent the wheel.

The comments attached to the article criticize the USAF for following
orders which have nothing to do with the mandated use of Ada.  Hence the
comments do not follow logically and are known as a non sequitor argument.

The comments are admittedly hysterical (NOTE:  the use of the word hysterical
here is not a flame), and may be better left for mass e-mail rather than a
moderated internet forum.
