Just because the evidence hasn't been posted in the last few days, that doesn't mean it's absent. A few days' newsfeed is not of any particular statistical significance.

As I said, in my opinion if you want to keep attacking Jacob's C skills, then the onus is on you to be able to support your attacks with evidence to outweight the existence of the lcc-win32 compiler. After all, you need only do it once, and then if someone in the future says "Why do you denigrate Jacob?" you can produce the same dossier.

Of course you are right that my contributions to this group are
currently non-existent. I have to say that I'd be more inclined to
change that if the atmosphere round here was a bit more positive.


Surely that's the wrong way round? If you want the atmosphere around here to be more positive, *make* it so by posting positive articles.

I have to say that I'm not satisfied with the views I've read from people defending the status quo. It does seem to me that there's an elite here who want to maintain the "purity" of this group, and they seek to do that by stifling discussion of topics they consider outside their own interests in C.

I don't think this is healthy, and I don't think this is a group I want to devote time and energy to contributing to in these circumstances.
