In Other language newsgroups, such as C/C++/Java, people all the time ask questions in reference to using specific compilers such as VC++, Borland , gcc, etc.. No one thinks of saying that each compiler users should have a separate mailing list. If so, then those news groups will be almost empty. I think with Ada, with hardly any interest in it from the general public, to have separate mailing lists for separate compilers is silly and counter productive. It is not like this news group is so busy. Even if it were, then this will be a good thing, not a bad thing. We should have all Ada discussions here, GNAT or none GNAT. Having separate mailing lists for Ada related stuff don't make sense to me given the small Ada community size. All public Ada discussions should be done here, on any topic, any one can simply ignore threads they are not interested in. Why are the Ada people so up-tight about these things? While on other newsgroups no one makes any point about these things? May be have some convention of subject, where if the question is on GNAT, it will say "GNAT: etc..", this way, people can easily not read it if they do not want to. kvisko
