In a word: Heathfield.
He and his chums have made the group increasingly inward-looking and
hostile to newcomers, and set such narrow bounds on topicality that most
working C programmers have no reason to hang around and get the ISO

of i=i++; are the only things that are topical, what room is there for
interesting discussions?
