Hmmm,

Reading the blog there seems to be many things that
focusses on making one's program "more standard".

From that perspective it is certainly beneficial and
[On] topic. Let's not always find a reason to use
that 'oll rod ;-). Thanks Alf.

Werner

Alf, please keep posting these useful contributions. Don't let the

I agree that Alf's post is useful but it is still nevertheless platform 
specific and off-topic; there are platform specific forums for platform 
specific posts.

Please, discussions about subjects being off-topic or not should be reserved 
for private mail of for alt.off-topic. They are off-topic here. :)

Also, the idea that platform specific C++ is off-topic here is a
recent fiction, completely unsupported by the early days of the
newsgroup.

Nonsense; posting that the post is off-topic here encourages people not 
to continue the thread with more off-topic posts here.

Changing someone's behavior is not described in the C++ language definition 
and therefore it is off-topic here.
You can use private mail for this purpose.
If you invent your own excuse to be off-topic, please, accept other's 
excuses to be off-topic as well.

More bullshit.  Meta-discussions relating to newsgroup policy are not 
off-topic.

I read new in C++ means it is possible to be kicked out  by the OS due to 
out of the heap space in the run time.

Do you mean std::bad_alloc? How is this related to the topic?

The Welcome message that is posted each week states:

"First of all, please keep in mind that comp.lang.c++ is a group for 
discussion
of general issues of the C++ programming language, as defined by the 
ANSI/ISO
language standard. "

It does not include meta discussions.
If you allow yourself to add other topics, why forbid other people to add 
their topics?

Posting that a post is off-topic is not off-topic in exactly the same 
way that the "Welcome message" you mention is itself not off-topic.

Please, try to understand FAQ 5.12:
"An extended flame war against an off-topic posting is just as off-topic as 
the original off-topic posting."

I am simply responding to your bullshit; if you don't like those 
responses then cease with the bullshit.  The FAQ implies that it is fine 
to post a brief response to an off-topic post which is what I did by 
saying it was off-topic; it was you who then engaged in a "flame war".
