- Do you always second guess other peoples questions? What I wanted was
- a C function which does matrix inversion. I.e. an *implementation* of
- an algorithm to do matrix inversion, IN C. BTW, the *IN C* was the major
- point. You can substitute anything you want for 'algorithms'.

- That's interesting. In my English class, my teacher often asked us to
- write an essay about current events, and discuss it. I guess we come from
- different worlds. Surprise, surprise! And yes, we save discussions of
- math homework for math class.

- If your definition of taking Usenet too seriously/personally means that
- I read c.l.c in search of interesting topics concerning the C language
- (the only system specific group I read is Linux), and when I find such
- a topic, all I see are flames to the author about the inappropriateness
- of the topic. Then yeah, I do take it seriously and personally. I'm
- tired of such crap. Seems like I'm not the only one.
-
- As for how do I know you can't interact with other people? Well, simple.
- From the comment below and your intolerance of off topic posts. It shows
- that you are a self rightous and obnoxious person. Note, this is only
- from what I read in this single article. Of course, one article does
- not describe any one person to a tee. But that's the first impression
- I get of you and all those who are intolerant and quick to flame.

-
- I don't know why you had the need to tell me this, but thank you for
- sharing. I guess somehow, all the years I've been reading c.l.c, I've
- missed all your posts. I'll try to be more thorough next time.
