I dont want to be the part of community to much.. this grouping tendences seem to be often patholigical - can tyou maybe say why you feel so strongly integrated?
I wonder if this is you imaginary or you really know much people here to such extent that you can say we.. It is a bit strange to saying not to one person but to the one who is a voice of the group - sci-fi like feeling (im joking a little)

As to englis it is not the think jou like, I may wrote some parts in correct english but i really cannot know which one is in proper english and which one is
not.. For me it is more fun than harm..
In general you presenting very reductive attitude, if i woul take this as you do
i probably would have to drown in depression that i do not know english - but i prefer not to go reductive and had some childish pleasure of toying with english, I do not understand what is you source of hate to teenager-like fun,
do the teenagars beats you?

I have nothing against teenagers who act like teenagers.  But I dislike
it when someone who claims to be an adult acts like they are stuck in
puberty.

You might consider the possibility that it's time to give up.  "fir"

Well there it is.  The solution is trivial, and is left as an exercise
for your killfile.

Look at it practically. You frequently ask questions here. By choosing to 
ask those questions in a deliberately obscure way, you increase the time it 
takes for people to answer them. Inevitably, some people will decide not to 
bother taking extra time to decipher your code. So your strategy reduces the 
number of people likely to answer your question. I generally invest about 
five seconds reading your articles, to find out whether you've learned any 
manners, and then move on when I discover that you haven't. You may not care 
about that. But the harder your articles are to read, the more people will 
make the same decision that I did, and the only loser will be you.

The attitude you are attacking is the attitude that people should have the 
courtesy to write in an easily intelligible manner wherever possible. I 
think that's a good attitude, no matter how much you attack it.

This is not to much practical,
Some of my post my be hard to decipher but it is not intended, his is side effect of my style.. sometimes i found it bad (where i see some time) but mostly i dont care, I may even prefer to not have to much answerers, maybe the one who go throught that would be the better one?

Yes, trying to read your posts can be challenging. I don't believe that 
is largely due to not knowing English either; if you can program, then 
you should be able to grasp the basic rules. But it seems your posting 
style is either lazy or deliberate (you may have mentioned a disability 
at some point, but again, if you can get program syntax exactly right, 
then you can write more clearly too).

It would be interesting to see you provide a version of a post in your 
native language to see if that is in a similar style.

But think about this: suppose the people who respond to you also adopt a 
similarly sloppy, uncaring approach which makes it very difficult to 
make sense of what they're trying to say. Would that be OK with you, or 
annoying?

Unintentional obscurity is not the problem.

If you know that other people find your style to be obscure, and you keep on 
with that style, effectively you are being deliberately obscure.

That's your privilege, but it has consequences.

It's possible, of course. But it doesn't sound very likely.

Here's a better analogy: it's like someone asking for help with C 
programming, but then deliberately making himself as unclear as possible, 
until the people best able to help him decide that helping him is too 
costly, leaving him to the mercy of those who are less able to help him.

Im not asking for help, i came here to share some thoughts 

(on c and coding in c, not sure how long i stay here, probably not to long as i have some occupations and will be must going)

Never heard of him. Must have been in my killfile longer than
my pondlife-like memory for such things.

Which is why any sensible poster would have left the attribution
on, so that I could just hit 'n', and skip responses to known
wastes of bandwidth.

Here's an interesting whitepaper that discusses some of the issues 
you will encounter when porting applications and data from an HP3000
running MPE/iX to a Unix-like platform:

Some highlights:

HP3000 was EOL'd by HP in the early 2000s (resulting in my first layoff,
yay), but of course people held on to those systems as long as they could
since they were long since paid for, so porting from HP3000 to new systems
is an ongoing concern.

OK, so we just have a record length of one byte; end of problem!

But I can choose to use only my own language, write in that language etc 
and not worry about what happens in other countries because I don't 
intend to go there. And people in those countries can do exactly the same.

In my market, the world *was* that big. It's nearly 20 years since I was 
involved in anything commercial, but then, a consumer or small business 
buying a computer would most likely be using Windows. A few wanted to 
run Linux or use a Mac, but that was less than 1% of my customers. I 
never head of anyone wanting to run on MPE/iX (actually, I've never 
heard of MPE/iX).

OK, so if I wanted to read a 20-line configuration file into memory, I 
can't do the obvious thing (open the file, get the size, allocate the 
memory, read it and close it), because there might be some dinosaur OSs 
out there where that might not work? Even if the chances of this code 
running on those machines is remote.

I also hope they're not running C! I've no idea what banks might be 
using, but you'd think that whoever designs their software would 
implement modern byte-oriented files. Since they must be using similar 
backing storage: hard drives, optical, flash etc as everyone else, and 
those manage, when you do a directory listing on them using a proper OS, 
to give you the size of each file without having to read each file from 
the start.

My point is that you can impose a byte-oriented file system on something 
which is record-oriented.

Indeed, so what?  You've chosen (quite reasonably) to write for a
specific class of system, but the thing that Rick Hodgin is stunned by
(and Richard Heathfield and John Bode are explaining) is about the C
stnadrda -- that it chooses not to demand more from fseek than it does.
I don't see how your design choice justifies opening with "not really"
when everything that was said is accurate.  I think it's just being
combative -- I don't see any evidence that you disagree with what's been
said.

There is a debate to be had about what abstraction of "the system" a
language should provide to programmers.  C and Java take radically
different views on this.  Few here would want C to be like Java, and few
Java programmers would want to abandon what Java gives them for a
tighter coupling with the system, but there is a vast grey area in the
middle where the answer is less clear.
