-
- Then you have not been following comp.lang.c very long. Before you
- attack one of the most helpful and reliable posters to comp.lang.c, ask
- yourself "If I make a complete asshole of myself attacking one of the
- few people who can help if I have a problem, will I sabotage myself if I
- need help?"
-
- >.... I may not be an expert ....
-
- From your post, there is no `may' about it. You are not an expert.
-
- >.... but I know if you open a file with fopen(
- >"filename", "rt"), then fgets stops reading when it finds a ascii 26 and
- >signals end-of-file....
-
- What you `know' only shows that your experience is very limited. It is
- not true except for a small subset of the C programming world.

- >.... I noticed in your smart-ass reply you did not offer any
- >answers to his problem. Maybe you should take you own advice.
-
- At least he did not follow your lead and post highly platform-dependent
- bullshit which is to be found no where in the standard. If you do not
- wish to be labeled as an `ignorant', then don't continue to display your
- ignorance.
