Bonita's habit of posting C++ code to comp.lang.c is inappropriate.
Debating the merits of C++ is equally inappropriate.

Discussing sorting algorithms is perfectly appropriate, if the discussion also has something to do with the C language or how to write programs in C.

Skimming over that specific page you find people mentioning their preferences for Pearl or Lisp as positive paragons. (It's beyond me why anyone would consider these languages or C/C++ as positive paragons.) - It makes little sense to discuss personal preferences. Concerning Bonita's language of choice, C++, it should be reminded that he usually compares its features by the respective explicitly programmed code in "C". - That's a point, but it makes little sense to repeat that language difference here.

Completely off-topic and of no importance, I'm just curious: I would have thought, based upon my experiences with latin languages, that Bonita would be a woman's name. Has Bonita said that Bonita is male? I only see other people's responses to Bonita's messages, so I would probably have missed it.

You are most probably right; both, Bonita and Montero, appear to be of Spanish origin. And I was sloppy in addressing her correctly. 8-/ My sincere apologies to Bonita! - I somehow and wrongly thought that it was a pseudonym; probably because I think she's a German resident, but then there's also residents in Germany with Greek names.[*] ;-) Thanks for pointing me to the obvious that I also obviously missed.

Now given the famous Yanis Varoufakis things should be more obvious.

I usually don't make investigations about persons posting before answering to their posts. Though I had seen the picture before I made my previous post. - As you say, "anyone can be anyone"; and names and pictures can also be chosen arbitrarily (e.g. for sake of privacy). But I've no reason to doubt that she's female. (Unless she, the poster, corrects me.) And the origin of the name should certainly have been obvious to me. Janis

This kind of inquiry is inappropriate. Anyone can of course tell
us how old they are if they choose to, but insisting that someone
discloses personal information is rude and verges on stalking,
to say nothing of its irrelevance to the topic of this newsgroup.
You post as "DFS". I don't know your age, your sex, what you
look like, or anything about you other than what you post here.
And that's fine.
(Just one suggestion. If you want to use a fake email address,
don't use a real domain that belongs to someone else. dfs.com is a
shopping site, and my guess is that you're not actually affiliated
with it. Consider something like "dfs.example.com".)

This as much off-topic as the c++-dribble of Bonita.

We don't need to try to look up people's details, or speculate. We
don't need to ask personal questions. We don't need prejudice or
bigotry. ("Males do this, females do that" - that's bigotry. People
are responsible for their own actions and attitudes. If you think
Bonita posts aggressively in c.l.c., that's because it is the way she
posts. It is neither because of nor despite of being female, German,
Italian, a C++ programmer, or any other characteristic that you think
fits, true or untrue.)
If people want to give personal information, that's their choice. I
think it is nice to have the basics right, such as a real name (I am
aware that "David Brown" is about as anonymous a name as you can get in
an English language context - though my email address is valid), but
that's a choice too. For practical reasons of writing, it's useful to
know what pronouns to use for someone - and if we don't know for sure,
we make a best guess. If we get it wrong, and that person is bothered
about it, we'll be corrected and try to remember for the future. (Note
that a person may choose to use different pronouns along with anonymity
on Usenet - that's up to them.)

I've made the same incorrect assumption in your case, but I think
I managed not to address you incorrectly. (I doubt that Yanis
Varoufakis is famous outside Greece, so that's not likely to be
helpful.)

Oh, I'm positive that's not true! - Myself I certainly don't know him from Greece, since I'm not living in that country. - Not sure where you're residing, but he's famous (or infamous) in Europe at least since the Euro-crisis 20 years ago! - He also studied in GB and later became university teacher in Essex and Cambridge. And finally he also became visiting professor in the US (Austin/Texas). Frankly, I wonder that you missed his name completely. But, okay, he's not technician but an economist. And so he's probably better known in Europe than in the US. Janis
