None of that changes the reality that your comments are not
about the C language or C programs and so are not topical here.

I know that your MO is to be a rude, self-centered, insecure
jerk.  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.

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.
