I find the following of your message also naive as i found Jerry's message naive, etc. etc., etc., but for the respect of cla readers i did not further comment, and i won't. This is not the right place, and my opinion is of no interest (except possibly for my children :-). You are no accused, and you have no need to justify whatever here, except your Ada code! Please, resist to the temptation, and don't react to provocation. Flames never end, and this is tedious. Let's stick to Ada. Best regards Lionel Draghi PS : and obviously, "don't react" also apply to my provocation :-)
