Where's The Charter?

A

ajay

Kool down dude u won't find CHARter with hot head ....

I've been lurking for awhile, and I notice that there are some real
tight-assed
prigs around here.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

So what if it's not "Standard C?" If it looks like C, smells like C,
quacks
like C, and compiles like C, it's probably close enough.

But all this petty sniping kind of wants to dissuade me from
participating
here, and I wonder how much of you piss-ants bitch-slapping the
newbies has
driven them away.

And they're so fond of saying, "According to the Charter ..." Well,
Where's
The Charter?

As you can see, a charter for everything BUT comp.lang.c .

Which makes it a pretty stupid thing to get all petty about.

I'll check in after awhile and see if any actual programmers have
shown up.

Being a non-moderated newsgroup, the topicality is effectively defined
by what the majority of the newsgroup regulars want to talk about. If
they decide to ignore any C questions and start debating the merits of
one-piece vs two-piece female swimsuits, then this is what comp.lang.c
is about.

So... Which is better? :)

One-piece. I would never wear two-piece swimsuits. Erm, or something. =)
