It's the name, comp.lang.c - it's *so* confusing. It is not surprising 
that people think this is a group for C++, or C#, or RDC, or Win32, or 
Posix, or proselytism, or SQL. There is nothing in the name to suggest 
that this group is about the COMPuter programming LANGuage called C. 
Perhaps we should change it to something more descriptive, such as, say, 
comp.lang.c - do you think then maybe people might get the hint?
