- Hmm, from the original poster's address that looks like a student
- account. A new semester has started, so it would not be unreasonable
- to presume that some student is turning to The Net to get a head start
- on some project. It wouldn't be the first time. (I recall one flamefest
- a while back where some professor requested netters not to respond
- to some student request for information saying that he should find
- it by himself. Of course one outcome was to spur folks like me into
- action and send reams of references to the student, since asking the
- Net seemed like a perfectly bona fide method of research. But, I digress!)
-
- As the Daves have pointed out, the scope of the request is far larger
- than I suspect the poster anticipates. Maybe the educator posed the problem
- and let the student pick the language, in which case, education has
- already taken place! But what if the problem was posed using ADA(sic).
- How does this reflect upon the "educator"?
-
- Tell me I'm presuming too much.
