I think (I hope) what David was getting at was that the gnat mailing list has a different audience than c.l.a., which is better equipped to answer gnat-specific questions. Such posts are *not* off topic on c.l.a. Its just that there are a lot of gnat users subscribed to gnat-chat that couldn't give a rodent's posterior about other compilers, software engineering flamewars, and language arcania that is the normal fare here.
