I'll second this emotion.  I read CLA every day, and always look forward
to posts from Robert Dewar, Bob Eachus, Bob Duff, and Tucker Taft, from
whom I learned much about the finer points of Ada95, language design,
and programming in general.

I also post frequently on CLA, and hope that in some small way, I've
contributed more to signal than to noise.
