But the appropriate place to discuss such things is probably
comp.lang.misc, or comp.object, or comp.software-eng, or ... 

Crossposted threads, even very polite ones, tend to be noise for people 
who, for example, only want to read about Ada on the Ada ng, or Eiffel on 
the Eiffel ng, or Lisp on the Lisp ng, etc. I'm sure many people in the 
Eiffel ng feel the same way, and just aren't interested in Ada, or Forth,
or Python. (Whew, lots of or-ing in this post!)
