I agree with you and I am trying to do my part to solve this problem,
as a few other people here on comp.lang.ada. I hope more and more
people start spreading the word. Robert Dewar does an excellent job
(he writes a new article in various publications every couple of weeks
or so) but, unfortunately, his position as CEO of AdaCore sometimes
undermines his credibility. Slashdot-type people are all too quick to
dismiss his articles as pure PR, while at the same time buying Sun's
PR about Java. That's why Ada needs grass-roots sup****t from
Enthusiasts.

enough for me.
