sounds like something that the GMANE folk should be queried about ;)

pascal is not "off topic" per se but this area is more devoted to object pascal 
and LAZARUS related problems and queries...

it is not an inconvenience... more of some folk being "gruff" about 
topicality... but they do have a point in that this is a LAZARUS list/group and 
so FPC specific stuff should go in one of the FPC areas... only stuff specific 
to LAZARUS should be posted in here...

NOTE: like you, i am but just a reader and participant of this list/group... my 
postings hold no more weight than any other general FPC/Lazarus user in here... 
the real weight belongs to the LAZ creators, maintainers and the admin(s) of 
this list...
