I think that is quite uncalled for. This is a newsgroup dedicated towards
helping novices get their feet under them, as well as answering particular
oddball questions best resolved through consensus. A little tolerance is
not inappropriate.

I liked Anton's clarification better. He was trying to help, and I saw no
misinformation in _his_ posting, although he _did_ quote  someone else who
was pretty confused.

Oh, c'mon, he's trying to be helpful. Are you ?

Perhaps we need a com.lang.c.wiz for those too busy to help beginners.
