No offense intended - just a little pointless teasing.  You make no secret
of the fact that your favorite language is Ada.  I respect your preference,
and am not even qualified to disagree with it, because I don't have much
experience with the language.  You are correct in that you posted your
article in comp.lang.ada because that's where it was.  The "bias" I
refer to is simply your publicly stated preference for Ada over the
current OO languages.  My apologies if the word "bias" carried negative
connotations to you or the net.  Your opinions are yours and they are
respected, at least from where I sit.
