[net.news.group] Breaking out of several nested loops

lambert@mcvax.UUCP (Lambert Meertens) (10/25/84)

:
I propose the creation of a new newsgroup, "net.lang.c.nestedloopbreak".
The last selector is a bit of a finger twister; better suggestions, anyone?
A major advantage of this newsgroup would be that no-one (unless s/he
desired so) would have to wade through all this stuff of marginal
interest in net.lang.c to get to the really interesting discussion of
how to get out of deeply nested loops. (How did we get in in the first
place? :-)
Another possibility is setting up "mod.lang.c.nestedloopbreak". I am
willing--somewhat reluctantly, since fascism is not exactly
fashionable--to serve as the moderator of such a group.

Why not just use rn?  I think that this program has most of what we need in
order to make a newsgroup serviceable to everyone by deleting things one
doesn't want to see.  Now just watch people start using creative subject
lines, just so that we will have to see their postings!!!
