Message: [QUOTE="E. Robert Tisdale, post: 1685043"] Hi Adam. I see that you have already met our "off-topic cops". The comp.lang.c newsgroup is *not* moderated. The off-topic cops are merely expressing their personal opinions -- which they have every right to do. Please feel free to ignore them if you do not agree. Subscribers to comp.lang.c will respond to your question if they feel that it is on-topic and will ignore it if they feel that it is not. Jack Klien, Sheldon Simms and Dan Pop have seen fit to respond to your question and I would advise that you pick up the discussion with them rather than waste your time with the off-topic cops. I also believe that Jack Klein gives sound advice. You *should* follow-up in the comp.std.c newsgroup but you shouldn't expect the feature to be added to standard C until about 2009. The best way to deal with off-topic questions is to ignore them. The best way to deal with off-topic cops is to ignore them. [/QUOTE]
