I consider it short for "regular contributor".
I don't consider those posts to be contributions.
"regular" can mean whatever we want it to mean.
It's not like anybody is ever going write "clc regular" on a resume,
or on a tombstone.
The word "regular" when used by the regulars,
is mostly used to distinguish themselves from new posters.

Who in their right mind would employ one of the strutting peacocks in
the Clique? Though I don't suppose any of them would ever condescend to
actually programming C in the real world - imagine day 1 at the office:
"Not portable, that's not C, can't do it, won't do it!"
Almost as if they're positioning themselves in a kind of... Clique... or
something.
Since Richard, Twink, and McCormack are all evil trolls, I invite
others to investigate my publications (URL below, download
section). Most is either public domain or under GPL.
No one cares.
Of course not - a real "contribution" needs to berate someone for
top-posting.

starts getting the same treatment dished out for his tedious adverts
that Jacob gets whenever he mentions his compiler. Then we'll know he's
back to playing by "the rules that apply to everyone else" rather than
"the rules that apply to The Clique".
For the non-American readers, when is Veteran's Day? It seems like
knowing that is important to knowing how long it actually took you to
solve the problem.
(I suspect based on the times mentioned that it's November 11, known as
Remembrance Day in Canada and probably also marked under various names
in most of the western world, but that's not obvious from your post.)

Veterans' Day) and had his throughput problem solved in somewhat
less than six months - by a week before Christmas their multicast
throughput was just over 76 times what it had been when I arrived

Could you explain what you think is "badly broken" about ggets()? It
would be refreshing to hear you talk about technical issues for a
change.
I originally thought that the ggets() interface was too complicated. Then weRandy Howard said:On Wed, 6 Feb 2008 11:01:49 -0600, Randy Howard wrote

But Mr Twink? No. If he knew C, he would be helping people out, right?
The same applies to Mr McCormack and Mr Richard "I Can't Remember My
Surname" Riley.
You, along with the other snot-nosed, ill-behaved adolescents, should
heed the words of Farmer Yasser "I think it's a great thing you young
folks are doing, committing mass suicide." As for how you behave, he
continued that "long hair, short hair, what the hell's the difference
once the head's blowed off?".

I note from your quote, by the way, that Mr Twink is trying to communicate
with me. I take this opportunity to point out that he, along with the
other trolls, is in my killfile. I don't read what the trolls write
(except in quotes such as the above) because I know from experience that
they write nonsense. If other people are daft enough to take their
writings seriously, that's up to them.
Please do. It'd be worth putting up with your posturing to help increase
