Are we going to be subjected to this over-lengthy, out-of-date,
repetitive nonsense forever? People don't appreciate the waste of
bandwidth this heap of old news consumes, time and time again.
Repetition is only a virtue if it reinforces something worth while;
it is not an end in itself! I think it proper, even on comp.lang.c,
to point out that a simple URL would save a ton of time. (Lines
drawn by the Topic Police place "URL" firmly outside the purview of
the Standard, but in trying times lines must sometimes be un-drawn.)

For the umpteenth time, please stop circulating this prolix,
redundant, wasteful, and only semi-topical insult to intelligence.
One distribution was a good idea, twice was defensible, maybe even
thrice could have been excused -- but this is just too much! Over
and over and over and over, and we all feel like victims of some
"C-nese" water torture. Let it never happen again -- and for gosh
sakes, read the FAQ!
