Thanks for the defense. It's OK, though. As the loyal opposition,
I expect a few flames every now and then :-)

I'm actually half-lying when I claim not to know Ada. Just reading
c.l.a, I've picked up a fair smattering of the language, and I've
read a little in Barnes. At some point, I really should start writing
a few small utilities in Ada to get a feel for it's day-to-day use.
