Why do you waste your > time whining here? Or don't you recognize that that's what you're doing? Yeah, that was a little over the top, wasn't it? I knew it was shortly after I sent it, but it never occurred to me that I could cancel it. More generally, my time's cheap, and comp.lang.ada doesn't take much time. I program in Ada, but I don't need to define myself by Ada or even programming (not that the things I define myself by are superior, just different), and being unable to play language lawyer, I play devil's advocate, especially to those willing to accuse people of being irrational because they didn't chose Ada for the job, even when it wouldn't be the best tool for the job. Pascal Obry, I'm sorry for my response. It was not a productive response to your post.
