One of the reasons I subscribed to this list was to listen for commercial users of Ada so as to identify potential employers. If what Ed says is accurate, many of them are not subscribing to this list and/or are not talking. To those that are not talking (and those that are the I haven't contacted yet), I am looking for commercial Ada development work in an uncrowded part of the country (Alburqueque, Austin, Colorado Springs, Research Triangle Park, and similar locations) for an employer that has what I call a "get the job done" attitude. I'm currently a college student, so I do not have difficulty talking at work. Please call.
