Well, I assume nobody is foolish enough to take this sort of
web survey _too_ seriously. I figure ESP is doing it just to get
some handle on who their readers are. Don't stuff the ballot box.

BTW - at 5:30 EDST, Ada is up to 52.9%. (of 556 votes)

Obviously this is because we are so well-networked in the Ada
community that word of this survey spread very rapidly via Team-Ada
and a few other lists. 'Course my wife would probably say we
haven't got anything better to do than read Team-Ada e-mail.:-)
