There is no such thing as "the group website".

Isn't the group website cpac.org? It's in one of the group moderator's

comp.lang.c has no moderator. Perhaps you're thinking of
comp.lang.c.moderate. In any case, cpac.org has nothing to do with C;
it's a political site.

Was the final conclusion of this thread that Dr Sosman's function
clashes with a common library funcion and should be renamed?

I don't think there was a conclusion. (One could also argue, though
less persuasively, that GNU's getline function should be renamed
because it conflicts with Eric's.)
