Let's not complain about upper versus lower versus mixed case. If you answer a question in a post (the majority of responses to this post did not), you might include a comment Ada -vs- ADA. If the only response you have is Ada -vs- ADA, please don't respond. Let's try to make the newsgroup a little more inviting. Maybe that will help to make the language a little more inviting.
