Sure.

Really?  So, do you think you're free to talk about how to bake  
brownies on this list?

Watch the google video linked to from slashdot a little while ago  
about code development in open source projects:

  http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/12/1449201

and see what role you play, then see what role the people that tell  
you your posts are off-topic play and try and guess what role I  
play.  Ask yourself, what direct benefit to the project does your  
contribution have?  This list is for people that want to contribute  
code to gcc and for those that want to help and enable people that  
want to contribute code to gcc.  My response to you I think is fairly  
off-topic for the list and is why I didn't include the whole list on  
that response, and I think your response above is off-topic as well.

Let me repeat once more, please, stop posting off-topic posts to this  
list.  This list is not open to off-topic posts.  If you want to talk  
about the appropriateness of posting things to this list, you can  
talk about that on gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org if you'd like.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
