Totally off topic, but are you sure that shouldn't be a "Missouri attitude"? 
I must be culturally unsophisticated or something, but I thought that 
particular weltanschauung was a characteristic of the "show me" state.

Also, if Ada 95 provided XXX, we'd be within our rights to spam the world 
with "ADULTS ONLY: Ada 95 does XXX!!!" :-)
