And as long as they're doable in standard C, bring 'em on.  If not, well, 
I *could* create an extension to C which allows VB syntax, but I don't 
think anyone other than you would regard VB as topical here.

Oh?  What issues would those be?  Things such as "how do I do _this_ in 
C?"  Of course those are topical - as long as they're things actually 
doable in C.  See how easy this is?

Because boneheads like you refuse to grasp the simple concept that it is 
about C, not somebody's screwed up VB import modules, and thus persist in 
bringing up unwanted, non-topical, irrelevant crap day in and day out 
meaning that others need to keep trying to educate you that the group is 
about C.  Unless and until you folks learn this lesson, the same issues 
will be endlessly repeated, making it boring.

Well, VB is related to C: they're both programming languages, after all.  
So let's talk VB.  Sounds good to me.  Let's open the door to *all* 
programming languages.

No, thanks, I'd rather stick to C.  If you want those other languages, 
there are other groups for them.
