It was some 2 years ago that i started closely following your posts on
clc. With my C programming skills being just knee high, i have to
re-read your posts again and again to actually make out the point you
are trying to make. And at the end of it, its enlightenment for me.
Seriously.

I am reminded of a request by another clc regular more than a decade
ago. He was interested to know if you ever considered writing a book on
C programming. To which you had replied citing your reasons for your
decision. I wish you had considered writing a book.

Anyway, i collect your posts and have a nice collection of some of the
finest mails explaining some basic C fundamentals which most of us
newcomers stumble upon.. and which form a topics for discussion when me
and my friends meet.

The thing that helps me most is what you had once pointed out, "most
problems have a lot of unncessary details. Big thing lies in removing
the unwanted stuff and thinking about the actual problem." I realise
that i missed the most basics of problem solving..
