I'm using AmigaDOS, MacOS, '95, and a few flavors of Unix, but I do not own or use any software based on windows 3.1. Furthermore, even if every person in these groups used windows 3.1, *IT WOULD STILL NOT BE RELEVANT*. I'm reading this in comp.lang.c. I expect articles posted to this newsgroup to be about C. Not about some specific system, or politics, or anything else. What software I use is irrelevant. I am using C, mostly indpendant of my target platforms. It may come as a shock to some people that I post and read this much news and still have time, but I have sex sometimes. I eat at least once a day on the average. I sleep. I have a cat. This does *NOT* mean that discussions of sex, food, beds, or cats is topical here. The original message was insultingly stupid and had no place in any of the groups listed that I've ever read. I would like the people who consider it relevant to go away. -s -- Copyright 1997 Peter Seebach - seebs at solon.com - C/Unix Wizard I am not actually gladys@nancynet.com but junk mail is accepted there.
