Would all of you oh-so-superior programming minds consider these points?
1) One of the largest groups of users of USENET is composed of
general users, as opposed to engineers and experienced pro-
grammers.
2) Members of the above group (including myself) might not
share your obviously broad knowledge of such things. While
I grant your point concerning the simplicity of this man's
program, I would appreciate having copies of it. I could
also write such a program, but I'm learning C at a university
that does not utilize it in any courses; my only chance to
learn it is by studying sources and the K&R reference. In
my situation, I'll take all the C sources I can get my hands
on.
3) Did you ever stop to think that this fellow actually tried to
contribute something besides inane comments and put-downs? I
think that you, as *obviously* experienced programmers/USENET
users, should welcome new blood to the net. Heaven knows I get
tired of reading bulletins that do nothing but flame people. The
backbone bills are high enough without having to transport your
obnoxious messages around the world. If you didn't like his
contribution, send him PERSONAL e-mail; that's why the support
is there!!! The USENET world at large doesn't need to read your
holier-than-thou personal flames.
4) Feel free to continue this discussion via PERSONAL e-mail; I'd
like to hear your reasonings behind these postings/attacks.
5) My apologies for violating my own Point #3, but I've had enough.
