I don't get it Marin (well, actually I do).  I presented a certain amount  
of evidence that on the program in question,  that started this thread,  
Ada will be used fairly widely, for good program management reasons.  Yet  
you keep repeating that it's not happening, hasn't happened, won't  
happen.  What gives?  Have you got so caught up on the soapbox that you  
don't see where Ada is reasonably successful, because of the places it's  
not?

You and I know each other for a lot of years, and understand each other to  
be fairly reasonable people, right?  So why ignore reality in this case  
for the sake of ideology?
