Agreed.  Maybe we could take a more proactive approach towards
off-topic posts, trolls and "what's a grub?" kinds of threads?

The GCC guys are very zelant in keeping the gcc@ list clear of

learnt to do that in a politely way instead of pissing off all
the newbies.

Just grep the gcc list archives for the word "gcc-help".
