Rob,
	My claims are as well substantiated as the claims in the original
Mosemann studies comparing Ada and C++.  Since you didn't complain about
their unsubstantiated claims, I don't why you are complaining about mine.
In fact, I try to at least be self-consistent in what I post, unlike the
Mosemann studies, which contradicted each other and consciously excluded
much programming language demographic data.

	So fine, flame me, as long as you flame the others to the same
degree.  And keep in mind that I do this Ada stuff with my own money,
while the others are spending tax dollars, and should be held to higher
standards as public servants.  Be fair or be silent.

Greg
