C is a funny language in that it pervades everywhere and people having 
issues with it may not be aware of the strict partitioning into standard 
language / extensions / compilers / implementations / platform / libraries / 
applications / hardware / etc that some try to enforce here. As far as the 
latter are concerned, only the standard language is on-topic (plus anything 
to do with topicality!)

But the standard language would be quite a narrow topic, unless you are 
interested in C Standard minutiae, while most questions seem to be covered 
by the FAQ. Since traffic on the group is quite low, and many of the more 
relevant groups are pretty much dead, I can't see the problems. Just put 
"OT" in front of the subject to stop anyone complaining.
