The pathway out of my computer is not the same as the pathway
into it. Hence writing to me at the address I send from doesn't
work. I post my receive address in my trailer. Besides - I meant
for this info to go public so that those wishing to comment on
the piece in question could do so in a way which would be
*productive* (Getting this down, guys???)

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen! An e-address for the
editor of IEEE Computer. Why not dust off all your gripes, clean
them up a little and send them out to him so that maybe some of
the more eloquent ones end up in the "letters" section and some
of the bad press for Ada can be mitigated?

It certainly won't take you any more time to do this than it did
to post the criticsms here where you're preaching to the choir.

I have to agree That part of the country is some of the most
beautiful in the world. Never seen downtown Raleigh except from
I-95, but I've been to Chapel Hill and - if I couldn't live here in
Sunny Florida - I'd take NC as a very, very close second place.
Say "hi" to Andy and Opey for me.

Pax Vobiscum,
