One of the sad ironies of the GNU Project is that people give us

What does this have to do with the gcc mailing-list ?
You know that, by saying this here, you're going to start yet another
flamewar.
This forum of discussion is clearly totally inappropriate for that
discussion. Let us just say that some of us clearly disagree with this,
and I don't see at all why you are stating *this* on *this specific list*.
Not just inappropriate, but "clearly totally inappropriate"?
Whether you agree with his position or not, that Mr. Stallman would have
his sensitivities on this issue is understandable.
Whether I agree with him or not, I don't offhand know what other list
would be appropriate, and I am reasonably certain that I (along with
many others who may be interested in knowing of what Mr. Stallman has to
say) don't subscribe to whatever list you had in mind.
