Greg, Colin, why don't you two pool the money you spend on your
Internet accounts, and take out a nice big Ada ad in some magazine, or
in some other way advertise Ada to people who might not get a chance
to see it otherwise. (From the amount of postings you churn out, this
shouldn't be a problem cost-wise.) Then, you can sit back and relax,
knowing that 1) You've done the Ada world a big favor by advertising
the language; 2) You're following your own teachings, and spending
some of your own money instead of the "millions of dollars from the
DoD"; and 3) You've done the majority of other readers of
comp.lang.ada a huge favor.
