His activities last summer on misc.jobs.misc, making noxious posts about the
requirement for a BSCS to do any kind of programming and the absolute 
requirement to know all the latest research to even write such mundane 
things as accounting pkgs and the like seem to've spread to the area of 
languange bashing and dogmatic diatribes on the absolute superiority of Ada 
over all comers. 

Has this guy no shame? (Maybe it's time I pulled out my flamethrower of 
sarcasm and let him have another blast - the first one didn't seem to take 
too well...)
