Yes, I did. Did you know that it also postdates 1989?

If you have a question about POSIX, which is the best place to ask it
("best" meaning most likely to get good answer), comp.lang.c or
comp.unix.programmer?
And kindly explain how my offering advice and expression my opinion
about which questions are best posted where makes me an "obnoxious
twit".
How many electrons are you wasting by publicly insulting me?
