No.  People who want to discuss C can do so in comp.lang.c.  The fistfight
over Bill Wolfe, and his comments can go into comp.lang.jihad.  I imagine
that these other groups would like to see a number of threads piped into
said new newsgroup as well...  Anybody want to take this one seriously?

How about:

For potential news.groups:
comp.lang.bill.wolf.lang.soapbox.nobody.listening
comp.misc.idiocy
idiots.idiocy
flame.flame
flame.bill.wolf
flame.C.too.while.we.are.at.it
comp.lang.if.it.is.not.ada.it.can.not.possibly.work
comp.lang.if.it.is.ada.it.will.never.fail
this.is.so.stupid.it.does.not.even.deserve.a.name
comp.lang.good.grief.!

Alternate piping destinations include: 
/dev/null
/dev/stupid
/dev/nerds
/dev/jihad
/dev/nuke'em
/dev/flame/C
/dev/flame/bwolf

.....you get the idea.... (no :=)'s here)

Anybody think of any other places to put this non-discussion so it's where it 
REALLY belongs?  (*sheesh!* maybe we should fill the postmaster of hubcap's 
with complaints about "mr." wolf. Maybe getting his Usenet access pulled, or 
at least confine his posting range to local / state boundaries will save 
net.bandwidth for more productive activities.)

   It should be in comp.lang.misc, but Ted Holden keeps posting to
   group lists like comp.lang.ada,comp.software-eng,comp.lang.c, and 
   then directing the followups to comp.lang.c.

This discussion really belongs in an already existing group:
alt.religion.computers
which is where I'm going now.
