Which may be decoded to be an allowance to
discuss anything on comp.lang.ada as long as the
thread is popular with an extensive participation?

While being under the heading of "Latin and other
irrelevant topics":
People studying computer languages are grown up
people responsible for their own professional
career. Why bother if their question to
comp.lang.ada is a student homework. Just answer
the question and stop worrying about whether that
is the right studying technique for the person.
