Hi Again

This will be my last post to this thread. I am truly grateful for the support I have received over the years here and I really do want to see this language succeed but could everyone take a step back and look at this thread. 

The OP had a valid concern, how to get different demographics to adopt. This thread just rambles on and on about another topics and most of it is OT bickering and I am the only person that has voiced any concern about getting young people to use Ada. 

What future is there for any language, programming or spoken without young people involvement...

I hope I can post back to the list with replies to help people, I don't think I can do anything else at this point. I am certainly not in any sort of position to help with Ada and education or I certainly have limited clout here to change anyone's minds
