Nor are followups to such post; they're just as off-topic.

Please, people, is it too much to ask?  If someone posts
something off-topic, DON'T REPLY AT ALL - no matter how strongly
you feel about their opinion.  ALL off-topic posts are bad,
not just the original posts.  If you must reply, do it
in a PRIVATE email.

But NOT in the djgpp forum.  It's completely off-topic and
quite distracting, not to mention that you're propogating not
only your opinion but the original post.  Neither belongs here.
This is a djgpp forum; please only talk about djgpp-related stuff
here and take other topics to private mail or a suitable
other forum.
