Recently there seems to be a lot of postings mostly about issues in other languages (C++, Java, Python, or some others mentioned in passing) but having little or nothing to do with C. I hope that people will remember this is comp.lang.c, and that they take discussions relevant to other languages but not so much about C to other newsgroups where that discussion is more topical. Second item: I have the impression that in the last month or so there have been a handful of postings from James Kuyper, in each case intended as a direct response to a posting of mine, but not threaded as a followup posting in the usual newsgroup way. Do other people also see this? Or more directly, is there someone who can offer an independent verification of such postings? If it is happening, does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?
