I have never said or implied that there is anything "holy" about it. You are making a strawman argument. I see that you've posted an article asking about what's topical here. I think the answer is already clear enough, but since you're asking, I'll hold off on killfiling you for a day or two. But if you continue posting on these off-topic threads, you will very quickly land in my killfile along with the other trolls. Do you have something to say about C? If so, this is the place for it. So far, it seems that you don't, which makes me wonder why you'd want to be here at all. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u@mib.org Working, but not speaking, for JetHead Development, Inc.
