- First, you should apologize to the person you flamed, since he did exactly
- the right thing. Second, if it inconveniences you to get gnu.g++.bug
- you should unsubscribe. This group is the mailing list for g++
- maintainers; it happens to be provided as a newsgroup as well, but this
- is only a convenience for those that wish to read it that way. Since
- the maintainers have specifically asked people to send bug reports in
- full, and not to compress or encode them, and since I haven't seen you
- generate a single bug fix, it is clear that you should not be listened
- to, as there is no benefit for g++ users in making things more convenient
- for you.
