None of that changes the reality that your comments are not about the C language or C programs and so are not topical here. > So how about letting them make up their own mind.

You have been for years and there is no indication that will change any time soon. There is plenty of evidence that people in the newgroup here are not interested in what you have to say about your experience working on compilers, especially since those compilers are not written in C and aren't faithful to the C language (and it isn't clear whether you don't know that or if you just don't care). So people have made up there minds; the only question is how long it will take you to realize it, if ever. > Meanwhile I could equally suggest you post all your deadly-dull stuff > about C standards minutiae to comp.std.c My comments about the details of C pertain to the C language and how to write C programs. They are topical here. Discussions in comp.std.c are supposed to do with how to change the C standard or how to read the C standard in areas where there is some question about what is meant. If you think my comments are deadly dull you are free to ignore the postings or put me in your kill file. But whether you do that or not, my comments are topical, and yours are not.
