Hi Folks,

I don't wish to complain about GCC, the FSF, GNU software or anything
like that - I think a great job is being done on that front.

However, since subscribing to the gcc-bugs list, I've noticed an
alarming increase in the number of spam messages being recieved (which
are, in fact, bounced through this list). I know it's difficult to
prevent spam, but perhaps there could be a way to make content
originating from non-list-members be moderated before being passed onto
the list? I'm not entirely sure of the traffic coming from people who
haven't subscribed to the list, so I don't know how feasible this is.

These are just my thoughts (and response to being irritated by several
adverts for "get rich quick" type schemes appearing here). Aside from
that, I'm using GCC 2.95.2 on RedHat Linux 5.2, and it's working nicely
- great job.

Many thanks,

Mo McKinlay.
