People who want to raise this issue with respect to libstdc++ should show
some numbers for libstdc++, not just blast semi-random followup messages
from the middle of a Usenet thread.

We can find plenty of opinions on inheritance costs by going out and
searching.  We don't need anything which /might/ be related to libstdc++
to be wspecifically mailed to the list just on the off chance we haven't
seen it.  :-)  If it's got something actually to do with this project, then
yeah, sure.  Unrelated articles aren't much different than spam, frankly.
