Grovelling apology accepted but I would have more respect for you if it
were as public as your allegation.

and publicly:

Well, the stuff that's not founded in ignorance, at least. :( 

BTW, I'm done with throwing rocks at other people's languages. It's not helpful
to criticise other people's efforts. In the case of Ada, I have a better
appreciation of why it was designed the way it was and think the Ada95 designers
were faced with a difficult task in having as their starting point an existing 
language which supported a different paridigm. If Ada were designed from scratch
today, it would look quite different, IMO.
