- mikey@ontek.com (Mike Lee) has posted his "Top 10 subjects in
- comp.lang.c" for the 7 day period ending Friday February 16, 1996.

- Almost _none_ of these messages is on topic for c.l.c and they are
- massively crossposted. Since most of these posts seem to be "I can't
- get a job because I'm not qualified so the world sucks." Move this
- thread to alt.whine.

- > 20 56.63 C/C++ knocks the crap out of Ada (sic)
-
- Almost _none_ of these messages is on topic for c.l.c and they are
- massively crossposted. This slugfest between (mostly) C++ and Ada
- advocates should be move to alt.uninformed.religious.debates.

-
- Almost _none_ of these messages is on topic for c.l.c and they are
- massively crossposted. And the continuation (Readable Perl) thread
- certainly doesn't belong here. Move this to
- alt.scripting.languages.that.i.can.read.but.you.cannot.

-
- Almost _none_ of these messages is on topic for c.l.c. (But some are
- fun, anyway.) The algorithm or math groups are probably better for
- this.

- Is it any wonder that there are people who get very annoyed at all this
- cr@p being posted in c.l.c? Of course, when they object, then a flock
- of articles along the lines of "Who made you internet police?", "elitist
- C fetishists", and "Of course Ada is on topic wherever I feel like
- posting."
