You said it was OK to discuss Ada's role in all this. The thread started
with a remark that the "leading universities" aren't doing much Ada.
I opined that that didn't matter all that much; that it's quite OK
for someone to change the definition of "best universities" to 
"those that teach good software engineering, in particular with Ada."

This time, Robert, we are in violent agreement. Whew.
