Jim, yow know the poster personally? :-}

Really, Jim, it is getting very old.  Your postings are very
egocentric and a waste of bandwidth. The world knows you love
Ada. I prefer not to like Ada (having spent three years doing Ada
related DOD development). And Jim, what you choose to call
Software Engineering is not the sole domain of Ada. Please, try
using the net for more productive discussion. Thanks.
