By asking on a group dedicated to your platform.

(don't forget to expand the download with bzip2)

That's like writing "may contain traces of nut" on a packet of peanuts.

Technically, peanuts aren't nuts. They're a kind of fish.

But not a true fish, since they don't have bones except for their teeth
and jaws.

And don't forget -- you can't tuna fish.

At least one person complained bitterly that he hadn't been told in
advance how to unpack the file. (Haven't seen him lately.)

Yes, I know. Or, to paraphrase, he complained bitterly that the packet
of peanuts didn't say "may contain traces of nut". That's my point -
i.e. I am not convinced that pandering to such people is wise.

(Haven't seen him lately.)

Shhh...

You don't know the number of messages I have seen in the past, of
roughly the form "I can't read that". Anticipation is normally
golden.

To be fair, bzip2 is primarily a Unixish tool; someone with little or
no exposure to Unixish systems might not be familiar with it.

On the other hand, any reasonably competent person should know enough
to do a web search for "bz2"; the first hit provides more than enough
information.

On the other other hand, the reminder to use bzip2 is perfectly
sensible IMHO; the relationship between ".bz2" and "bzip2" is not as
well known as the relationship between "peanuts" and "nuts".

If you follow that rational then anytime you mention anything that *even
one person* does not understand then you should provide a caveat.

It is anal in the extreme to tell people how to open a bz2 file with
each reference to that file.

And it's only a question of time until somealert reader points out that a
peanut is not a nut. :-(

And then there are those who "know better", and refuse to use the
flags you tell them to use, and then complain that there's something
wrong with your install image.

You're too late. See upthread...

What I saw said that it was a fish - which made no sense to me at all. It
still doesn't. What I was referring to was that the peanut is a legume.
Which is not very esoteric but in fact true.

Commands are part of your OS, not part of the C language.

C FAQ: Question 19.8 and Question 19.25


Furthermore, to interface external devices, check your platform doc.

Is that you're way of saying he's not funny? Or do you really not get it?

"anal" is not rude in the context.

From where I'm standing, it's rude and crude, unless the context is
strictly medical or biological - and comp.lang.c is neither of those.

You might not think it so, but it's a very subjective matter. I'm not
telling you what you can and can't say - I'm just telling you my own
perception of the word. Naturally, your opinion might vary - but
normally we don't use words that we know will offend people (no matter
how inoffensive those words seem to us), unless we are deliberately
setting out to offend them.

It seems quite appropriate for a serial nagger

Why don't you find something useful to do instead of complaining all the
time about people complaining all the time? Why not start off by
helping out with some of these people asking C questions?

You're clearly of the opinion that you are some sort of NG moderator

In an unmoderated group, *everybody* is a moderator.

so I'll save you from my scorn by dumping you in my killfile.

That's one moderation technique, yes. See? You're a clc moderator too.

Besides
your signatures wont snip for some reason and they are driving me
crazy.

My newsreader recognises and snips them just fine. Get a better
newsreader.

No need, they're already in a C....

(say it out loud, it'll make sense...)

Hey, and its almost topical.

[Mark McIntyre]

Or do you really not get it?

Someone better explain why "peanut" and "fish" are synonyms. It makes
no sense to me either (though I simply ignored the apparent joke).
