Sure; put the following into a file and arrange for "cron" to mail it
to you on a regular basis.
CONSTANT COMP.LANG.C DIGEST
Novice asks: When my totally scrambled program broke, why?
Chris Torek responds: [120 lines of detailed explanation and
examples]
Henry Spencer responds: C works like that.
Jim Giles chips in: This shows how the C cabal is trying
to rot everybody's mind out.
Herman Rubin says: C ought to let me test the overflow
bit; after all, my machine does have one.
Dennis Ritchie says: If you want assembler, you know where
to find it.
Regular C user asks: Does the Standard say anything about ...?
Several: Yes, it says ...
Somebody: Well, that's horrible! We should never let a
committee meddle with C. C has always been
like it was on the system I learned it on!
Doug Gwyn replied: Dammit, X3J11 knew what they were doing.
Go away.
