I don't know since I don't read comp.lang.c. However, recently I 
hijacked a thread in comp.lang.c++, 'C/C++ question about dynamic 
"static struct"', where I only wanted to ask someone why he prefers C 
over C++ (just wanted to know whether this was due to project 
restrictions or his own free choice).

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the whole thread was crossposted to 
both comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++, and before I could say "blueberry 
cake" I had started just another flame-war between the C and the C++ guys.

That was the least of my intentions (next time I'm going to ask possibly 
inflammatory question by mail). To me it shows that comp.lang.c has 
about the same number of hotheads as comp.lang.c++ (strange enough, not 
the same people).

So I guess you are right, the trick with the fake posting would probably 
have worked with comp.lang.c, too.

Stuart
