There is no screen in standard C. Nor is there a printer. There are files which handle all communication with the outside world.

Yes, I know. Or, to paraphrase, he complained bitterly that the packet of peanuts didn't say "may contain traces of nut". That's my point - i.e. I am not convinced that pandering to such people is wise. > (Haven't seen him lately.)

On the other hand, any reasonably competent person should know enough to do a web search for "bz2"; the first hit provides more than enough information. On the other other hand, the reminder to use bzip2 is perfectly sensible IMHO; the relationship between ".bz2" and "bzip2" is not as well known as the relationship between "peanuts" and "nuts". -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) k@mib.org <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> San Diego Supercomputer Center <> <http://users.sdsc.edu/~kst> "We must do something.

If you follow that rational then anytime you mention anything that even one person does not understand then you should provide a caveat. It is anal in the extreme to tell people how to open a bz2 file with each reference to that file.

What I saw said that it was a fish - which made no sense to me at all. It still doesn't. What I was referring to was that the peanut is a legume. Which is not very esoteric but in fact true.

You are rude and crude. 2. I didn't tell people how to 'open' "anal" is not rude in the context. It seems quite appropriate for a serial nagger with nothing better to do than tell people how to open bog standard compressed files and that they are "off topic" or to snip examples and give links to text versions of C standards which bear no relation to the question asked. > a bz2 file, I advised them to expand it. refer to above. great advice. because, err, they wouldn't be able to read it otherwise. > 3. I also mentioned the > program that would do so. Do you refer people to your compiler of choice too when you tell them to compile a program? You're clearly of the opinion that you are some sort of NG moderator so I'll save you from my scorn by dumping you in my killfile. Besides your signatures wont snip for some reason and they are driving me crazy.

(Haven't seen him lately.) And then there are those who "know better", and refuse to use the flags you tell them to use, and then complain that there's something wrong with your install image.

From where I'm standing, it's rude and crude, unless the context is strictly medical or biological - and comp.lang.c is neither of those. You might not think it so, but it's a very subjective matter. I'm not telling you what you can and can't say - I'm just telling you my own perception of the word. Naturally, your opinion might vary - but normally we don't use words that we know will offend people (no matter how inoffensive those words seem to us), unless we are deliberately setting out to offend them. > It seems quite appropriate for a serial nagger Why don't you find something useful to do instead of complaining all the time about people complaining all the time? Why not start off by helping out with some of these people asking C questions? > You're clearly of the opinion that you are some sort of NG moderator In an unmoderated group, everybody is a moderator. > so I'll save you from my scorn by dumping you in my killfile. That's one moderation technique, yes. See? You're a clc moderator too. > Besides > your signatures wont snip for some reason and they are driving me > crazy.
