C++ is particularly relevant, since most C++ programmers have regular use of C, a good many C programmers have regular contact with C++, and a large proportion of C code is also equally valid as C++ code. The focus of this group is C, and postings about C++ need to be in relation to C or the details of the particular thread. But IMHO it is perfectly reasonable for some posters to have a large proportion of C++ mentions in their posts in a C newsgroup. If a programmer works mainly with C++, and his interest in C is largely in how it relates to C++ work, then it is natural that his posts in a C newsgroup will mostly be in threads where C++ is of relevance or interest. >> Do you know the difference between a zealot and a fanatic? >> Zealots can't change their mind; fanatics can't change their >> mind, and won't change the subject. > > Which of those analyses a whole year of someone else's posts?
