- Am I wrong if I assume that you really meant to write 'comp.lang.ada.*'
- instead of 'comp.lang.*'? At least for the *programmer, *announce, and *misc
- groups anyway. IMHO, there should really be only one 'comp.lang.*.advocacy'
- group. Kind of a /dev/null... huh? ;-)

- I'll vote YES on comp.lang.advocacy, comp.lang.ada.[programmer, announce, misc].
