Q: How many comp.lang.c readers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: none - the light bulb doesn't belong here
Sorry folks. The recurring whining about inappropriate postings inspired
that - but it makes a point. I've seen people suggest news groups that
DON'T EVEN EXIST. It's one thing to suggest a newsgroup that is more
likely to be helpful for that type of question. It's another thing to
say "I don't care where you take it - just get it out of here"
I'm starting to find the don't-post-that-here crap a lot more offensive
than the occasional misdirected post. Certainly, it takes much longer to
compose a don't-post-here response than it does to hit the 'n' key. I
hope most of the readers here aren't as penny-wise-but-pound-foolish
in their actual C programming.
