I strongly agree.  Those discussions need their own home (perhaps there
is such a group, but I am not familiar with it).  (Off topic, I would
not mind a newsreader that totally ignored posts addressed to more than
N groups.)

Well, Robert Dewar, that to me seems totally illogical !!! :-)

Basing your participation (which I value) on others wanting the garbage
threads seems to say you will participate in anything labeled CLA so long
as those participating in it (aside from you) agree on the content.

I would much prefer that those who are interested in less of the non-Ada
content consider ways of reducing it.  Of course that is not appropriate
without a sense that more than 3 people feel this way.
