I agree, but I don't think leaving the ng to the Eiffel/Java/C++/...
language wars is the right thing to do. Some language comparison posts are
appropriate, though I wish people making the comparisons had at least
minimal familiarity with the languages being compared. Right now I just
manually delete most junk postings.
I find it sad that a lot of people who used to post in years past
(S.Barbey, M. Kempe, and Rob Nebbe immediately come to mind) seem to
have left. I for one learned much from their postings. Hopefully you
won't join them.
