Probably that is best summed up as "you can't believe everything you read on 
the Internet"! I suspect that you can find someone claiming that the earth 
is flat if you look long enough. :-)

There was at one point a page somewhere on the net that claimed "Ada is 
Dead!". That was something like 10 years ago now, so I think it was somewhat 
premature. :-)
