All the Re: Re: Re: ADA news items were the result of a crass remark
"ADA xxxxx" made by myself in a news article that was discussing of
all things RELIGION.  I think that I have been punished long enough for
making this remark as reading all the resultant articles about ADA has
been truly painful.  Now someone is offended as this news group, net.arch,
has been discussing ADA and not his favorite OO programming lingo.

I apologize for my inital remark "ADA isucks" which was obviously in poor taste
and was rooted in RELIGION anyway.  Now that I have apologized for this could
we please keep any discussion of language ADA to net.lang or net.lang.ADA.
As part of my repentance I will subscribe to net.lang.ADA for the next month.
