You seem capable of understanding either that <news:comp.lang.c> is not
for other languages or that there is an actual standard for that other
language, which your bogus advice contradicts.



This invective is both superfluous and contains the word 'capable' where
you probably wanted 'incapable'. See, I'm not the only one who makes
mistakes.


You are right that I erred in using 'capable' with the 'either .. or'
constructuction and should have, as you suggest, used 'incapable' or, as
I had intended, used a 'neither .. nor' contstruction. But I was not
passing on bogus, off-topice 'advice'. It is not superfluous for me to
note that your 'advice' was not only off-topic but *wrong*. For God's
sake, if you want to post off-topic answers, at least be close to being
right.

Look agian.

My comments where

"No he shouldn't, the correct file is <iostream>"

and the setting of a follow-up to c.l.c++

So I had already corrected the bogus advice and directed the thread to
the appropriate place.

If you are going to slag someone of on a public forum, get your facts
straight, or you will make an arse of yourself.
