Message: [QUOTE="John Bode, post: 2457276"] Why? It's just a fracking newsgroup, for frack's sake. I wasn't responding to the OP, I was responding to your statement that "you can't ask programming questions here - only pure C ones." You're too busy being so goddamned offended on other people's behalf to pay attention to what I'm saying. Quit interrupting. It's *rude*. And you missed the point. Hey, guess what? I didn't respond to the OP. I thought Martin had done an adequate job in that respect. I was responding to *you*. What the hell else am I going to call him? "Mr. Ambuhl?" "His Nibs?" "That guy? Who wrote that article?" Referring to him by the name he actually uses for posting here isn't being "cliquey" or familiar. Jeez. QUIT INTERRUPTING. IT'S RUDE. And no, it's *not* just for me. It is accepted usenet etiquette for *everyone*; you, me, and everyone else. Usenet is not a quickie reference manual; it is not the place to go when you want an answer *now*. Which brings us, again, to the wonders of Google, and this wonderful technology known as "searching the archive." If you're smart enough to post here in the first place, you're smart enough to do a search. Google does a pretty damned good job archiving, and you should be able to find the FAQ easily enough. Go to comp.lang.c in Google groups, type FAQ in the search box, and whammo, second link down is the latest FAQ entry. This is not hard. It's not unreasonable to expect everyone who comes to this group to first do a search, which will likely get them the answer they need faster than waiting for a response. Yeah. You're at least forty times more annoying than any random clueless newbie. And guess what I didn't do. Again, I was responding to *you*, not the OP. Here's my posting history. Tell me how useless I'm being: [URL]http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/search?q=john_bode%40my-deja.com&start=0&scoring=d&[/URL] [/QUOTE]
