Huh? I posted my definition of reuse to comp.lang.ada because that's where
the thread originated. I have no idea what you mean by "bias". If the thread
had been in soc.men or talk.bizarre or rec.cooking or any other group, my
definition of software reuse would have remained invariant--it's not context
sensitive. Please elaborate.
