OK, I admit it -- I exaggerated a little. ;-)
Still, IMHO a gentler approach would be more likely to get him to (1)
learn something about Ada and/or (2) put a small Ada example in his
book, thus tempting others to learn about it.
I'm sure you didn't mean to attack the guy, but questioning someones
competence could come across that way, don't you think?
