Q: How many comp.lang.c readers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: none - the light bulb doesn't belong here

Sorry folks.  The recurring whining about inappropriate postings inspired
that - but it makes a point.  I've seen people suggest news groups that
DON'T EVEN EXIST.  It's one thing to suggest a newsgroup that is more 
likely to be helpful for that type of question.  It's another thing to
say "I don't care where you take it - just get it out of here"

I'm starting to find the don't-post-that-here crap a lot more offensive 
than the occasional misdirected post.  Certainly, it takes much longer to 
compose a don't-post-here response than it does to hit the 'n' key.  I
hope most of the readers here aren't as penny-wise-but-pound-foolish
in their actual C programming.
