HTH.

Hmmm,

Reading the blog there seems to be many things that
focusses on making one's program "more standard".

From that perspective it is certainly beneficial and
[On] topic. Let's not always find a reason to use
that 'oll rod ;-). Thanks Alf.

Regards,

Werner

Alf, please keep posting these useful contributions. Don't let the
proscriptionists put you off (they're only happier when arguing with
trolls anyway)

I agree that Alf's post is useful but it is still nevertheless platform
specific and off-topic; there are platform specific forums for platform
specific posts.

Nonsense; posting that the post is off-topic here encourages people not to
continue the thread with more off-topic posts here.

Changing someone's behavior is not described in the C++ language definition
and therefore it is off-topic here.
You can use private mail for this purpose.
If you invent your own excuse to be off-topic, please, accept other's
excuses to be off-topic as well.

I read new in C++ means it is possible to be kicked out by the OS due to
out of the heap space in the run time.

Do you mean std::bad_alloc? How is this related to the topic?

More bullshit. Meta-discussions relating to newsgroup policy are not
off-topic.

And where did you read that?

And where did you read yours?

And where did you read yours?

The Welcome message that is posted each week states:

"First of all, please keep in mind that comp.lang.c++ is a group for
discussion
of general issues of the C++ programming language, as defined by the
ANSI/ISO
language standard. "

It does not include meta discussions.
If you allow yourself to add other topics, why forbid other people to add
their topics?

Still off-topic.

Still whiny and not helpful.

Posting that a post is off-topic is not off-topic in exactly the same way
that the "Welcome message" you mention is itself not off-topic.

Please, try to understand FAQ 5.12:
"An extended flame war against an off-topic posting is just as off-topic as
the original off-topic posting."
