[...]

I note that a substantial fraction of the articles recently posted
to comp.lang.c (and probably comp.lang.c++) are cross-posted to
comp.theory, and are about the Halting Problem.

Some of these articles contain small fragments of C-like source code,
but I suggest that doesn't make them either topical or interesting
to most participants in the C and C++ newsgroups.

I humbly suggest, yet again, that these discussions be restricted
to comp.theory, and that users try to edit the "Newsgroups:" header
even when replying to a cross-posted article.
