Dave,
        As a federal employee (MITRE is a FFRDC), it is illegal for you
to insult and criticize any member of the public. Check the federal regs.
I assume you are posting these insults under orders from someone at MITRE,
knowing what little initiative I see nowadays - I want names and an
investigation into why the Air Force is funding MITRE to character
assassinate civilians.  Would that you turn your invective on people
spending taxdollars, maybe the TedHolden and GregAharonian programs could
be archived.

	However, I still think you can be a useful member of society, and
in that view, please read the following Biblical passages, substituting
"federally funded employee" wherever you see the word "woman", "comp.lang.ada"
wherever you see "the churches", and "taxpayers" wherever you see "husband"
or "man".  May these inspirational thoughts help you mature in life.
