Someone goes from Ada code for units to discussing mass and velocity and such and that's not too much to worry about. Even the occasional political or social comment along the way isn't much to worry about. (I agree it should be indicated in the subject line as off topic once it diverges for any length.) Its just that when the postings start to drift into areas that are completely unrelated to Ada and the opinions being expressed might start becoming offensive to a large segment of the audience, its just spoiling for a flame-war. If we're going to have flame-wars, they at least ought to be somehow related to Ada. :-) MDC -- ====================================================================== Marin David Condic I work for: http://www.belcan.com/ My project is: http://www.jast.mil/ Send Replies To: m c o n d i c @ a c m . o r g "I'd trade it all for just a little more" -- Charles Montgomery Burns, [4F10] ======================================================================
