I see he's still at it. Having temporarily unplonked him (always, it seems, 
a bad idea) to get the original context, I will simply point out that I do 
not use sock-puppets, and that his claim is in error.

Such trolling is a constant drain on this newsgroup. If the people who do 
it are genuine in their desire to improve the group, let them prove it by 
posting intelligent, competent, and helpful answers to those who ask 
questions about C here. And if they are not, why would anyone give their 
slurs any weight at all?
