This group is a bore.
To you, maybe. Not to others here. If you find it boring, well, nobody
is forcing you to read it or post to it.
The only messages are
-----
"I pressed "compile" button but it did not work".
Help MEEEEEE!!!
------
Please do my homework.
-----
I wrote i++=i++; but it doesn't work
Actually, discussions can and do go considerably deeper than that.
WHY???
Always when you start some interesting stuff the same people
will start yelling:
OFF TOPIC!!! OFF TOPIC!!!
1) What you consider interesting is not necessarily interesting to other
people;
2) What other people consider interesting is not necessarily interesting
to you;
3) Being "interesting" is not sufficient to make a subject topical here;
4) There are ***OTHER NEWSGROUPS*** for discussing the kinds of things
that you want to discuss; for example, the undoubtedly fascinating
subject of lcc-win32 extensions is dealt with in its very own
newsgroup. In ***THIS*** newsgroup, we discuss C.
Because they would like to get the language back to 1990...
No, we'd like to get the language forward to 1999 so that we can all
sing from the same sheet again, but implementors show little sign of
co-operating.
There are no discussions about software design, software maintenance,
debugging and all the things that really interest the programmers!
Not here, no. This newsgroup is about C. Software design, maintenance,
debugging and the rest are all very interesting and indeed vital things
to talk about, but there are ***OTHER NEWSGROUPS*** for discussing such
things. ***OTHER NEWSGROUPS***.
Um, how can I put this? Ah! I know!
Ce newsgroup est au sujet de conception de C. Software, entretien, la
correction et le repos sont toutes les choses très intéressantes et en
effet essentielles pour parler, mais il y a *** l'AUTRE *** de
NEWSGROUP pour discuter de telles choses. *** D'AUTRES NEWSGROUP ***.
(Don't blame me for that translation - blame Babelfish.)
